http://www.britannia.com/bios/livingstone.html

Extractions: David Livingstone, born in Blantyre, Scotland and dying in Chtambo's village (in Zambia), was the most famous of all the Scottish missionary explorers who did so much to bring knowledge of Africa, the unknown continent, to the western world. What English-speaking child in what part of the world has not heard the words of Welshman Henry Morton Stanley, upon finding the Scot alive and well in the midst of "darkest Africa" after reports of his death had reached Europe and the Americas. Regarded in his lifetime as a sainted figure, Livingstone is remembered as the first European to have gone to the heart of Africa and to have dispelled many erroneous notions as to the nature of the continent and of its inhabitants. In particular, his indictment of the slave trade did much to awaken the conscience of a nation and to demand the enforcement of anti-slavery laws. That the Scotsman left out of his reports facts which did not fit in with his purpose of attracting Christian traders to Africa and that he never acknowledged the help he had been given in his explorations, does not detract from his accomplishments. They simply make him more human, less saint-like. Conditions were harsh on the Island of Ulva, where David spent his early years. He was later to state that the savagery of the Cape Caffres (Kaffirs) was similar to that of the Highlanders of his native region (The people of Ulva would drown a woman in a sack if she unintentionally killed a child). Working in a cotton mill from the age of 10, the young Scot earned some extra income by selling tea, travelling from farm to farm. An avid reader, the future missionary studied Latin and Greek on his own. After reading Dr. Thomas Dick's The Philosophy of a Future State which stated that science was not opposed to Christianity, and after he had heard the preaching of liberal Canadian theologian Henry Wilkes, he got over the fears instilled in him by his father that the sciences were directly opposed to the Word of God.

Extractions: Born in Blantyre in 1813, David Livingstone was the son of a shopkeeper. He started work at the age of 10 but nevertheless managed to educate himself and to study medicine and theology at Glasgow University to become a missionary doctor. He arrived in Bechuanaland in 1841 and married the daughter of another missionary there. Livingstone began to explore uncharted areas of Africa and while mapping the upper Zambesi River he discovered the Victoria Falls Coming across the horrors of the slave trade, his books on African exploration were influential in bringing it to an end. It was on an expedition which started in 1865, after he had been in the bush for several years that H M Stanley of the New York Herald set out to find him in 1872 and greeted him with the immortal words "Dr Livingstone, I presume?" Livingstone almost died several times from disease and eventually succumbed in 1873, having refused to return to Britain. His embalmed body was brought back and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

http://www.sorbie.net/david_livingstone.htm

Extractions: David Livingstone 1813-1873 FAMILY BACKGROUND David Livingstone was born on March 13, 1813 in Blantyre, Lanarkshire, 8 miles south of Glasgow. He grew up in a distinctively Scottish family environment of personal piety, poverty, hard work, zeal for education, and a sense of mission. His parents, Neil Livingstone, a tea salesman and Agnes Hunter were married in Blantyre, on 2nd December 1810. His father's family was from the island of Ulva, off the west coast of Scotland. His mother, a Lowlander, was descended from a family of Covenanters, a group of militant Presbyterians. Both were poor, and Livingstone was reared as one of seven children in a single room at the top of a tenement building called "shuttle row", built for the workers of a cotton factory on the banks of the Clyde. At the age of 10 he had to help his family and was put to work in a cotton mill The bell which beckoned him to work a 6 a.m. and held him captive until 8 p.m. each evening is still attached to the side of Shuttle Row. Even at this late hour Livingstones work was not yet over. Along with the other mill children he attended night school. Some were so tired that they could do little else but sleep but Livingstone studied hard, often until very late at night. Livingstones Christian upbringing prepared him to respond to an appeal by the Chinese Missions and he was determined to become a missionary to China. In 1836 Livingstone embarked upon a medical degree at Andersons College in Glasgow. Here he studied throughout the winter months returning to the mill in summer. However, his original plan to become a medical missionary to China was thwarted by the outbreak of the "Opium War" (1839-42) which closed China to him.

http://www.hyperhistory.net/apwh/bios/b1livingstonelu.htm

Extractions: David Livingstone was born at Blantyre, eight miles south of Glasgow, on 19 March 1813. He was born in a single apartment home on the banks of the Clyde River. At the age of ten, like other children of the village, he was put to work in the mills, which took up his whole day from six in the morning and did not release him till about eight at night. Then, with other children employed in the mills, he had to attend night school. Most were so tired after school that they could do little but sleep, but David studied hard and would continue with his lessons far into the night. Every spare moment, in the factory or out, he studied books and nature. As a child his dream was to be a medical missionary to China and spread the word. On November 10, 1871, Stanley's caravan, loaded with supplies, reached Ujiji, Africa. A thin, frail Livingstone stepped out to meet him as Stanley bowed, took off his hat, and spoke the now famous words, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume." Livingstone and Stanley began a friendship and after Livingstone's death it was Stanley who continued with Livingstone's works. David Livingstone died in Africa on April 30, 1873, after a long illness. His body was sent back to England where he was buried in Westminster Abbey. HOME FAQ COURSES ESSAYS ...

http://www.christianheroes.com/mi/mi004.asp

Extractions: David Livingstone was born to a Christian family who lived at Blantyre, Scotland in 1813. As child he worked in a local mill during the day and went to school in the evening. He wanted to become a missionary and work in China. He qualified as a doctor of medicine to help with this ambition. He heard a talk from Dr Robert Moffat who was a missionary in Africa. He decided to go to Africa (China was a closed nation at war at that time). Livingstone went to Southern Africa and was soon travelling inland looking for sites for mission stations. These journeys took many months and allowed Livingstone to rapidly learn the language, culture and customs of the Africans. In 1845 Livingstone married Dr. Moffats daughter. They made other exploratory journeys in Africa and in 1855 reached what we know as Victoria Falls. Livingstone was rapidly becoming a household name back in Great Britain. In 1958 Livingstone made an an ill-fated expedition to explore the Zambezi river and it's tributaries. Many of his companions became ill, including his wife Mary who later died of the illness.
