Описание: The Victorian missionary David Livingstone (1813-1873) led an expedition up the Zambezi River in 1858-1864. However, owing to disagreements within the party, illness and deaths, drought and tribal warfare, the explorers achieved few of their aims. This 1865 account was based on the journals of Livingstone`s brother Charles.
