Livingstone's Travels And Researches In South Africa (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163633038)

Livingstone's Travels and Researches in South Africa is an autobiographical account of David Livingstone's explorations and discoveries in Africa during the mid-19th century. Livingstone was a Scottish missionary and explorer who spent over 30 years in Africa, mapping out uncharted territories and studying the local flora and fauna. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers Livingstone's early travels in Africa, including his journey through the Kalahari Desert and his discovery of Lake Ngami. He also describes his encounters with various African tribes and his efforts to spread Christianity throughout the continent. The second part of the book details Livingstone's most famous expedition, during which he crossed the continent from west to east, reaching the Indian Ocean. Along the way, he discovered the Victoria Falls and explored the Zambezi River. He also encountered many challenges, including hostile tribes, dangerous wildlife, and illness. Livingstone's Travels and Researches in South Africa provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a pioneering explorer and the challenges he faced in his quest to uncover the mysteries of Africa. The book is also notable for its detailed descriptions of the African landscape and its inhabitants, as well as Livingstone's reflections on the impact of European colonization on the continent.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
