David Livingstone, Scottish Explorer


Carte-de-visite of David Livingstone (photographed by John Jabez Edwin Mayall, 1813-1901). David Livingstone (March 19, 1813 - May 1, 1873) was a Scottish explorer and medical missionary in Africa. He organized expeditions into the interior of Africa from Botswana, discovered and named Victoria Falls, and located the mouth of the Zambesi River. He mapped much of interior Africa, wrote accounts of the inhabitants, and campaigned against slavery. Along with Henry Morton Stanley, he became a celebrity in the eyes of a Victorian public captivated by their explorations.
