Synopsis
Excerpt from Livingstone and Newstead
This year is the centenary of Dr Livingstone''s birth, but amidst all its celebrations the presence will be missed of the one child who was nearest to him in spirit. For only a few months ago, in the spring of 1912, his eldest daughter, Agnes Livingstone Bruce, was taken from us.
Therefore, at this distance of time, nearly forty years after her father''s death, when already all memories of survivors are either waxing dim or crystallising into history not always authentic, it seems to me right to put on record, however imperfectly, my recollections of Livingstone and his daughter Agnes as I knew them.
True it is that when I met Dr Livingstone I was only a very young child myself, and, therefore, much that one would wish to know must be lacking. Perhaps, however, for the very reason that I was only a child, my recollections, such as they are, may throw fresh light on Livingstone''s character. They show him, not as the great explorer and missionary, but as in our daily home life at Newstead he appeared to the eyes of an observant child unaware of his fame.
In those far off days Dr Livingstone was to me not a celebrity, but simply one of my dear father''s most intimate friends, and as such to be accepted as part of the natural order of things.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique and intimate glimpse into the life of David Livingstone, the renowned explorer and missionary, as seen through the eyes of a young boy. The author, a close friend of Livingstone, recounts his own childhood memories of the great man, presenting him not as a celebrated figure, but as a cherished companion within the familiar walls of their home. The book details the author's own adventurous journey to South Africa, where he met Livingstone and developed a profound respect for him. The narrative captures the raw beauty and danger of the African wilderness, providing vivid accounts of hunting expeditions, close encounters with lions and rhinoceros, and the complex relationships between the Boers, the natives, and the missionaries. Through anecdotes of Livingstone's kindness and the author's own experiences, the book reveals the impact that the explorer had on the lives of those he met, and explores the themes of friendship, courage, and the transformative power of exploration.
