During his travels as a missionary, David Livingstone beheld many previously unknown wonders of the African interior. He put Victoria Falls and Lake Ngami on the map, and was the first white man to cross the African continent. Diaries, reports and letters are combined to create a wonderful narration of Livingstone's travels in a widely unknown continent. Included in this harrowing tale is Livingstone's narrow escape from a lion's wrath, his negotiations with an African chief, and his account of the Portuguese slave traders brutally punishing slaves after their attempt to escape. The Life and African Explorations of Livingstone also reveals Livingstone's deeply-rooted Christian beliefs and the strength he took from them, strength that allowed him to live and thrive amid the hardships of equatorial Africa.

The purpose of this work is to make the world better acquainted with the character of Livingstone. His discoveries and researches have been given to the public in his own books, but his modesty led him to say little in these of himself, and those who knew him best feel that little is known of the strength of his affections, the depth and purity of his devotion, or the intensity of his aspirations as a Christian missionary. The growth of his character and the providential shaping of his career are also matters of remarkable interest, of which not much has yet been made known. - Preface.

Livingstone is perhaps the best-known missionary of them all. His attempts to find the source of the Nile and his famous meeting with Henry Morton Stanley have become the stuff of legend. The truth behind the legend, however, is even more compelling. Drawing extensively from Livingstone's personal notes and letters, Rob Mackenzie unfolds the intensely human story of a man with a vision - to set souls free from slavery, both physically and spiritually, and to open up Africa to Christianity and lawful commerce Livingstone has come to be regarded as a figure purely based on a few events, lost in legend, yet his tomb inscription reads 'Brought by faithful hands over land and sea here rests David Livingstone - missionary, traveller, philanthropist... for 30 years his life was spent in an unwearied effort to evangelise the native races, to explore the undiscovered secrets, to abolish the desolating slave trade of Central Africa where with his last words he wrote "all I can add in my solitude, is, may heaven's rich blessing come down on every one, American, English, or Turk, who will help to heal this open sore of the world." An amazing story awaits you on the first page.

This vintage book contains a fascinating a historical article on the life and expeditions of the famous explorer of Africa - David Livingstone. With a wealth of fascinating biographical information and accurate accounts of some of his most memorable excursions, this volume constitutes a must-read for those with an interest in David Livingstone, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of antiquarian literature. Livingstone (1813 - 1873), was a Scottish Congregationalist pioneer medical missionary with the London Missionary Society, as well as a famed explorer. Perhaps one of the most popular national heroes of the late-nineteenth century in Victorian Britain, Livingstone had a mythic status, which operated on a number of interconnected levels: Protestant missionary martyr, working-class "rags to riches" inspirational story, scientific investigator and explorer, imperial reformer, anti-slavery crusader, and advocate of commercial empire. His fame as an explorer helped drive forward the obsession with discovering the sources of the River Nile that formed the culmination of the classic period of European geographical discovery and colonial penetration of the African continent. Many vintage texts such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now, in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition.

*Includes pictures *Includes Livingstone's quotes about his life and career *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading "I am prepared to go anywhere, provided it be forward." - David Livingstone "If you have men who will only come if they know there is a good road, I don't want them. I want men who will come if there is no road at all." - David Livingstone Modern society tends to portray men of history to be great saints or great sinners. In fact, biographers are often inclined, depending on their personal predilections, to portray their subjects as one of these two extremes, especially when someone is seen by a certain group as an example of religious ideals or values. Writers are often afraid that if any of the person's mistakes come to light, it will somehow disqualify them from being admired. Of course, the problem is that even the most influential men were still human, and therefore subject to the same great achievements and tremendous failures as anyone living during the modern era. Dr. David Livingstone, of "Dr. Livingstone, I presume," fame, is an excellent example of this fact. Born into a poor family in Scotland, Livingstone worked hard, saved his money, and volunteered for missionary service, obviously the actions of a saint. He studied medicine, trained to care for others, and made his way to Africa to serve the needy people there, and to share with them the Christian faith. Once in Africa, he married the daughter of other missionaries and together they committed their lives to good works. They also explored some of the most desperate portions of Africa, sending back to England fascinating letters telling of adventures and new discoveries. The intrigued public could not get enough of his reports; he went on to write several books about his adventures, and the British press canonized them as the work of a celebrity saint. But Livingstone was cut out to be neither saint nor celebrity, and instead came to realize that he was more interested in exploring and science than he was the souls of men. Today, such a revelation would be met with little more than a shrug of the shoulders, but Victorian England was a different environment, and Livingstone would remain wracked with guilt even as his sovereign and others stepped forward to offer him both authority and funding to pursue his dreams. In fact, he became so obsessed with justifying his decision that it would ultimately cost him both his own life and that of a number of other people. At the same time, he remained driven to relieve African society of the scourge of slavery, even as he repeatedly took advantage of African individuals offered to his service by their chiefs. It seems that he hated slavery in general but was willing to accept at least some level of forced servitude if it served what he saw as a greater purpose. If anything, these kinds of foibles made him a man of his era, neither saint nor sinner but instead something much more fascinating: a human being who struggled and fell, but got up again and again in an effort to try to do the right thing. Dr. David Livingstone: The Life and Legacy of the Victorian Era's Most Famous Explorer and Pioneer chronicles the colorful life and adventures of Dr. Livingstone, and the impact he had on the world at large and the British Empire in particular. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about Dr. Livingstone like never before, in no time at all.
