Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa
David Livingstone, 1857
Summary
Livingstone's account of his sixteen years in southern Africa, culminating in his transcontinental journey from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean, is one of the most celebrated exploration narratives of the nineteenth century. The sections on Tswana communities and the northern interior remain important primary sources — a landmark of Victorian travel writing and missionary ethnography.
