David Livingstone was one of the intrepid and daring explorers of the Victorian age. In 1858, he and his brother embarked upon an expedition up the Zambesi river to explore Eastern and Central Africa, and in 1859 they and their party became the first non-Africans to gaze upon the Lake Nyasa. This book is an account of their landmark expedition.
David Livingstone, immortalised for generations of armchair adventurers in Henry Stanley's question 'Dr Livingstone, I presume!', was one of the most intrepid and daring explorers of the Victorian age, an era which was characterised by the expansion of the British Empire to cover approximately a third of the globe and which was by no means lacking in intrepid and daring explorers. In 1858 he and his brother Charles embarked upon an expedition up the Zambesi river to explore Eastern and Central Africa, and in 1859 they and their party became the first non-Africans to gaze upon the grandeur of Lake Nyasa. Although they encountered numerous serious obstacles to their progress, such as life-threatening illness and giant rapids, over the course of several years they nevertheless succeeded in penetrating to parts of the interior of Africa that European explorers had so far not succeeded in reaching. This is their original account of this landmark expedition.
