The Last Journals of David Livingstone, In Central Africa, From 1865 to His Death, Volume II (of 2), 1869-1873, by David Livingstone (1813 - 1873) and Horace Waller (1833 - 1896)
Volume II chronicles Dr. Livingstone's continued efforts to accurately map the areas of central Africa through which he is traveling. While successful, the effort was not without danger. Illness, hostile native peoples, and desertion of help all presented problems that made the last years of Livingstone's life difficult. This volume ends with Mr. Waller continuing the narrative with information given to him by those traveling with Dr. Livingstone at the end of his life. (Summary by KHand)

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!
