Glimpses Of West Africa PDF Download

Excerpt from Glimpses of West Africa: With Sketches of Missionary Labor The larger portion of the following pages was written during odd moments, snatched from the pressing cares and labors of a missionary life in West Africa. The remainder has been prepared since failing health compelled my return to America. This little volume does not profess to be an exhaustive or scientific treatise on West Africa, but merely to give a few glimpses of that strange, wild land, and its degraded inhabitants, - such as I have been able to gather during my missionary residence and travels there. These chapters relate mostly to the country and tribes in the vicinity of the Mendi Mission, between six and eight degrees north latitude. Other parts of the coast differ, perhaps, in some respects, though the general features are much the same. If these pages shall arouse in any heart a deeper interest in Africa and the missionary work there, the author will feel that he has not labored in vain.
