About this Item
1875 AFRICA David Livingstone 1ed Last Journals Voyages African Exploration MAP I will go anywhere, provided it be forward. David Livingstone David Livingstone was a Scottish medical missionary with the London Missionary Society and explorer in Africa. In this book Livingstone describes his travel and work as a missionary to the indigenous people in 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. The work deals with customs, languages, animal and plant biology, geology, topography, and mineralogy which he kept until his death. This first American edition of Livingstone s Last Journals is illustrated with 20 full-page engravings, 25 in-text illustrations, and an enormous 72cm x 82cm folding map of Central Africa!
