Publisher's Synopsis

The Weaver Boy Who Became A Missionary: Being The Story Of The Life And Labors Of David Livingstone is a biographical book written by Henry Gardiner Adams in 1867. The book tells the story of David Livingstone, a Scottish missionary who dedicated his life to exploring and evangelizing Africa in the 19th century. The book begins by describing Livingstone's humble beginnings as a weaver's son in Scotland and his early education. It then follows his journey to becoming a missionary and his first expedition to Africa in 1840. The book details his subsequent expeditions, including his discovery of the Victoria Falls and his attempts to find the source of the Nile River. Throughout the book, Adams highlights Livingstone's dedication to spreading Christianity and his efforts to end the slave trade in Africa. The book also explores Livingstone's personal life, including his marriage and family. The Weaver Boy Who Became A Missionary provides an in-depth look at the life and work of one of the most famous missionaries and explorers in history.
