In three major expeditions 1853-1856 1858-1864 and 1865-1873 he covered a third of the continent from the Cape to the Equator and from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans observing and delineating regions previously unknown to white men; he was the first European to explore the Zambesi River and gave Victoria Falls its present name. Livingstone also brought his powers of observation to bear on the native peoples he encountered and was inspired by what he saw to entertain not only evangelical notions of their salvation but political and medican ones as well. He was the first to disclose to the European world the terrible effects of the slave trade upon native populations; the horrors of this ërunning sore of Africaà moved him to campaign actively for its abolition. He also provided an accurate account of the tsetse fly Glossina morsitans along with the disease its bite produced in cattle; at the time the flyÃs bite was thought to be and perhaps was harmless to manî Norman Library. David Livingstone 1813-1873 ìbecame a missionary and was sent to South Africa by the London Missionary Society in 1840. From then onwards his life was devoted to the exploration of central Africa. Although a missionary.he regarded himself more as a pioneer explorer opening up the country for others. LivingstoneÃs services to African geography during thirty years are almost unequalled; he covered about a third of the continent from the Cape to the Equator and from the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean. He made three great expeditions; in 1853-6 described in this book 1858-64 and 1865-73 of which the first and third are the most important. During these years he explored vast regions of central Africa many of which had never been seen by white men before. Hie first discovered the Zambesi River at Secheke and followed it northwards eventually reaching the west coast of Africa at Luanda Angola and the east coast at Quelimane Mozambique. In 1855 he discovered the great falls of the Zambesi and named them the Victoria Falls. He explored the Zambesi Shire and Ruyuma rivers and found the salt lake Chilwa and Lake Nyasa.The geographical results of his journeys were of supreme importance and made it possible to fill in great stretches of the maps of Central Africa which hitherto had been blankî Printing and the Mind of Man.
