David Livingstone PDF
by M. Buxton
Description
A biography of David Livingstone giving a balanced account of his strengths and weaknesses.
Revered for years as a saint, he was in fact a much more interesting character, difficult, demanding and unsympathetic but also single minded, determined, patient and outstandingly brave.
At ten he worked a fourteen hour day in a mill and at sixty was buried in Westminster Abbey.
The first European to cross Africa, he discovered the Victoria Falls and survived shipwreck, attacks by natives and being mauled by a lion.
