David Livingstone by Andrew C Ross
Born in poverty in Blantyre, Scotland, David Livingstone educated himself by heroic endeavor, later proving him-self to be a remarkable linguist and scientist. His missionary journeys brought him into contact with a wide range of African peoples, for whom he showed remarkable sympathy. This is an account of his life and of his achievements.
"Few explorers can have been explored more thoroughly by historians and biographers than David Livingstone..Nevertheless it is a worthy addition to the corpus, if only because...he manages to imbue it with a sense of the spirit that drove Livingstone on." This England
