"The first of Livingstone's three major expeditions, in which he followed the Zambezi, discovering Victoria Falls in the process, as well as the Shire and Ruyuma rivers, ranging from Angola in the west to Mozambique in the east. During these years he explored vast regions of central Africa, many of which had never been seen by white men before." Livingstone is considered to be one of the greatest humanitarian's in his efforts to abolish the African slave trade. A very lovely copy.
