David Livngstone you presume? Correct! One of the most famous people of the Victorian era, David Livingstone was a terrible missionary... But lucky for him he was a fantastic explorer. Travelling to Africa for three seperate epic adventures, he went to an incredible amount of places no other European person had ever been before him. He is also perhaps best remembered for his advocacy against slavery. Support the show and get rewards like bonus episodes: www.patreon.com/DoGoOnPod Twitter: @DoGoOnPod Instagram: @DoGoOnPod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoGoOnPod/ Email us: dogoonpod@gmail.comSOURCES/FURTHER READING ON LIVINGSTONE:https://www.britannica.com/biography/David-Livingstonehttps://www.biography.com/people/david-livingstone-9383955https://www.britannica.com/topic/Opium-Warshttp://zambezitraveller.com/livingstone/history/david-livingstone%E2%80%99s-early-missionary-years-and-first-expeditionLivingstone, David, Missionary Travels and Researches In South Africa (1858)http://www.historytoday.
