Dr. Livingston I presume.....



- **__Basic Information__** o Current City: London, England. Westminster Abbey. o Hometown:Blantyre, Scotland o Sex: Male o Birthday: March 13, 1813 o Political Views: o Religious Views:Congegationalist o Bio: My name is David Livingstone. I was born in Blantyre, Scotland on March 13, 1813. My father’s name is Neil and my mother is Agnes. At age 10, I started working on a cotton mill with the rest of my family. I worked hard but with little pay. Every Sunday my family would venture to church which I loved. I always believed in god and never doubted him. We attended the Church of Scotland, which was a Presbyterian church. When I was 19. My father and I changed churches because of the persecution of science. The church believed that science was false, and I was a true science nerd. We became Congregationalists, which was a better fit for us. After some college I started working for the LMS, London Missionary Society, and went on a few mission trips. I was originally intending on going to India and China, but the Opium War changed that. My next assignment was to Africa. I landed in South Africa in December of 1840. After a few years, I married Mary, a fellow Scot who had lived in Africa since age four. Between 1852-56 I explored the interior of Africa because of a drought in my previous area. I made the treacherous trek across the interior from the Atlantic Ocean to Zambia and the Indian Ocean. This trek had never been fully successful and I sure was proud to be the first. When I came to Zambia, I saw the gorgeous Mosi-oa-Tunya, or “Smoke that Thunders.” I renamed these falls the Victoria Falls after our wonderful Queen Victoria. After traveling for many more years I went of the face of the earth for six years. Henry Morton Stanley came and found me, and muttered the words, “Dr. Livingstone I presume….”, this catch phrase has become a household term. Even though Stanley had come to bring me home, I refused to leave. I wanted to stay and finish my mission of bringing Christianity to Africa. After two more years I died from malaria and internal bleeding caused from dysentery. I lived by the motto, “ Christianity, Commerce, and Civilization” and never once thought that I couldn’t do anything. o Favorite Quotations: " Dr. Livingstone I presume..." - **__Relationships__** o Mother: Agnes o Father: Neil o Daughters: Anna Mary, Agnes, and Elizabeth o Sons: Robert, Thomas, and William Oswell a.k.a.

I think Planet Earth was a pretty good movie depicting the world. Also, Jurassic Park, because of the beautiful scenery. o Television: What is a television? If I knew what this contraption was, I would watch a lot of the Discovery Channel and Science Channel. Maybe even a little History channel to change it up. - **__Education and Work__** o High School: o College/University: Anderson's College, London Missionary Society, o Employer: London Missionary Society

I think they meant the 1880's though! It asked my favorite smell so of course I said flowers and grass just like in Africa. My favorite color is green too.

As a tree you could see everything happening around you, and those things need you to live. I would be an integral part of society, and would hopefully be respected. QUIZ 3:What kind of novel are you? - RESULTS Romance Novel - EXPLANATION I am not sure how I got romance novel seeing as that I wasn't very romantic. I did marry my wife Mary in Africa after we met, and took her on a safari as our honeymoon. I guess you could say I am just a true gentleman.
