David Livingstone was born on March 19, 1813, the second son of Neil and Agnes Livingstone of Blantyre, Scotland. His family was very poor, meaning that he had to work at a cotton mill starting at age ten. Before he began, however, he began his pursuit for knowledge.
David Livingstone was born on March 19, 1813, the second son of Neil and Agnes Livingstone of Blantyre, Scotland. His family was very poor, meaning that he had to work at a cotton mill starting at age ten. Despite his family's circumstances, he began his pursuit for knowledge at a young age.
Despite being from a poor family, he had a great mind and was able to read. He read many books, sometimes staying up so late that his grandmother would have to blow out the candle for him to make him go to sleep. His favorite book was his Bible. A new foreman confronted David at the cotton mill, and could not believe that he won such a nice Bible. To do so, David had to memorize all 176 verses of Psalm 119, and he proved himself right in front of the foreman. David was also committed to his studies. He went to a Latin class with the schoolmaster after work for two hours, studying Latin any chance he got, even at work.
