Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa

by David Livingstone

Overview

This early work by the world famous explorer and missionary David Livingstone is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It details the travels of the great man through South Africa and gives accounts of the peoples of the area. With nearly 800 pages it contains a wealth of information and anecdote on South Africa in the nineteenth century and is a fascinating read for anyone interested in this period. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
