Beskrivelse af Pioneering In New Guinea, 1877-1894 (1895)
Pioneering In New Guinea, 1877-1894 is a memoir written by James Chalmers, a Scottish missionary who spent 17 years in the island of New Guinea, which was then a British colony. The book was first published in 1895 and chronicles Chalmers' experiences as a missionary, explorer, and advocate for the indigenous people of New Guinea.Chalmers' memoir provides a detailed account of his travels and encounters with the various tribes and cultures of New Guinea. He describes his efforts to establish missions, build relationships with the locals, and spread Christianity throughout the island. He also documents his explorations of the island's interior, including his encounters with dangerous animals and treacherous terrain.In addition to his missionary work, Chalmers was a vocal critic of the colonial administration's mistreatment of the indigenous people. He advocated for their rights and worked to improve their living conditions. His memoir includes numerous anecdotes and observations about the customs, beliefs, and practices of the people he encountered, providing valuable insights into their way of life.Pioneering In New Guinea, 1877-1894 is a fascinating account of a pioneering missionary's experiences in a remote and challenging part of the world. It offers a unique perspective on the history and culture of New Guinea, as well as the role of missionaries in colonial expansion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
