Livingstone, David (1813–73). Christian medical
missionary and pioneer of Central and Southern African exploration. His 30,000-mile missionary journeys, mostly under appalling conditions, gave him first-hand knowledge of slave-trade cruelties, and he constantly worked for its suppression. His work inspired many who later established dispensaries, clinics, and hospitals all over the African continent. He died in the village of Ilala; his body was buried in Westminster Abbey.
