  • Livingstone, who was brought up in the evangelical tradition of Calvinism, decided at an early age that he wanted to become a medical missionary. To prepare himself, he studied Greek, theology, and medicine for two years in Glasgow. In 1838, he was accepted by the LMS. He initially wanted to go to China, but a meeting with Robert Moffat, the notable Scottish missionary in Africa, convinced him that Africa would be his sphere of service. On 20 November 1840, he was ordained as a missionary, and on 14 March 1841 he arrived in Cape Town. Supported in his religious fervor by philanthropic ideals to bestow the values of liberty, humanity, and justice on the heathens in Africa, Livingstone chose as his mission field an area bordering on the Kalahari Desert in the country now known as Botswana.

  • 25 Livingstone was passionately interested in the potential of the area between the Chobe and the Zambesi as a viable place for trading and missionary work, and one can assume that he constantly questioned the MaKololo regarding the nature of the country to the south, as well as to the north of the Zambesi. The only viable way to convey an impression of the area to the directors of the LMS in London was to compile a sketch map of the Zambesi drainage area.

    I could not annotate the picture directly. This picture depicts the steam boat that was used by David Livingstone to travel through the Zambesi river. This picture shows both Zambesi river and the steam boat, this boat was built by him and his party for his exploration and then he named it " Ma-Robert". He was the first person to discover the Zambesi river therefore this picture shows him exploring the river in 1858.

    This is the letter that was written by Dr. Livingstone to Roderick Murchison. Dr. Livingstone's name is David, he was a Scottish missionary and an explorer. In this letter he tells him about the obstacles he encountered in his exploration and how he overcame them. He tells him about the letters that Sir Murchison sent to him in March 1866 and in February 1870 that were lost. He tells him about the goods that were sent by Dr. Seward from Zanzibar to depot, Ujiji but were stolen by the Governor, as a result he got a part of share from them. Other goods that were sent by Dr. Kirk through Ludha Damji were sold off at depot, Ujiji. Ludha Damji was a Banian-slaver trader while Dr. Kirk was a companion to Dr. Livingstone and a British administrator in Zanzibar. Other goods were sent through Ludha again and other two head-men but they ran riots on them, after that they stole goods from Mr. Stanley's store. Mr. Stanley was an explorer, journalist, soldier, and he had a search for missionary with Dr. Livingstone. The word expedition refers to a journey undertaken by a group of people with a particular purpose, especially that of exploration research. The same Banian-slave traders that plundered Livingstone's good are the same Banian-slave traders who were entrusted by other traders with their goods, it is just that they disliked Dr. Livingstone's expedition as a result he lost his letters, sketches, maps and his astronomical observations. This led to him waste a lot of money and lose 2 full years through the lost of supplies. The turning point was he received nine pack and packets from John Webb, he received some from Mr. Stanley and seized some from Kirk's slaves , this put him on an advantage of being able to finish his work. Despite the fact that he was attacked by pneumonia he managed to reach the height in Gondokoro.
