Writings of Vero L Bosazza on nineteenth century explorers of African countries, chiefly David Livingstone.
Scope and Contents
Vero L Bosazza, a South Africa geologist who worked in various African countries, became interested in the nineteenth century travellers there, especially David Livingstone. In retirement he wrote extensively on them, his personal knowledge of the localities giving his work a dimension frequently lacking in other scholarship. His writings are almost entirely unpublished, except in the sense that he distributed copies of them to various libraries with interests in African history.
All volumes are typescript or photocopies of typescript.
