Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of an expedition to establish a new industrial mission on the shores of Lake Nyassa, led by E.D. Young as the pioneer of the effort. The author was tasked with the mission of placing a steamer on the Lake, which had been attempted and failed in 1861. The author was also the leader of the search expedition for Dr. David Livingstone in 1867. The author speaks on the urgency of the task, as this was central to Dr. Livingstone's vision in curtailing the slave trade, which was the central blockage to progress and peace in the region. The expedition team describe their travels and experiences along the way, including the difficulties and challenges they faced in navigating the rivers and transporting their steamer. The book also provides valuable insights into the state of East Africa at that time, including the impact of the slave trade, the presence of Portuguese settlements, and the attitudes of local tribes towards European explorers and missionaries. The author describes the historical context of the expedition through the lens of Dr. Livingstone's life and work, and the efforts of other missionaries and explorers in the region. The author also reflects on the changes that had taken place since Livingstone's death, and the ongoing need for exploration and development in East Africa.
