Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa (New Rebound Cover) by David Livingstone

A very nice, vintage, rebound hardcover copy of the 1958 Harper Brothers edition of "Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa; including a sketch of sixteen years' residence in the interior of Africa, and a journey from the Cape of Good Hope to Loanda on the West Coast: then across the continent, down the river Zambesi, to the Eastern Ocean." by David Livingstone.  The historic and breathtaking story of the David Livingstone expedition into the interior of Africa at a time when virtually no European had ever set foot into the interior of the "Dark Continent."  The descriptions and illustrations published in this volume were among the first and possibly the absolute first illustrations that the Europeons would see of these wonders in the magnificent lands of the African Continent.  The book listed here is a very early American edition and would be the volume that would provide Americans that first glimpses of the African interior. A truly historic book.  755 pages with Fast Shipping!
