In the Footsteps of Livingstone presents the remarkable diaries and travel notes of Alfred Dolman, a young adventurer, diarist, and artist whose expeditions into the heart of Africa followed the pioneering paths of David Livingstone. Edited by John Irving and richly illustrated with Dolman’s sketches, this volume captures the untamed landscapes, the perils of exploration, and the unyielding spirit of a man driven by discovery. From encounters with wildlife and indigenous communities to the harsh realities of survival in an unforgiving land, Dolman’s journals offer a vivid and unvarnished account of 19th-century exploration. His journeys—rife with danger, resilience, and wonder—culminate in a tragic fate that left behind an enduring legacy.

Excellent book, definitely kept my attention. Dolman had a great eye for detail and a sense of humor as well. I was reminded of the adventures of Wilfred Thesiger and Jim Corbett. Recommended.
