Description
1866 1st ed Livingstone Expedition to ZAMBESI Africa Missionaries Illustrated
“I will go anywhere, provided it be forward.”
― David Livingstone
David Livingstone was a Scottish medical missionary known for his exploration in South Africa and ministry to local tribes throughout Central and South Africa. Through the mid-19th-century, South Africa was completely unknown to Europeans, so Livingstone’s mission brought light to more than just spreading the gospel. According to ‘Printing and the Mind of Man’,
“The geographical results of his journeys were of supreme importance and made it possible to fill in great stretches of the maps of Central Africa which hitherto had been blank”
Livingstone discovered the Zambesi River and Victoria Falls (which he named), parts of Angola, and Mozambique; met with and observed the Hottentot. He was also able to discover some of the most devastating instances of slave trade, which propelled his abolitionist ideals.
‘Narrative of an Expedition to the Zambesi’ was published in New York in 1866, the first American edition. It recounts the famed journey through Africa with impressive full-page engravings depicting local tribes and customs.
