Tamate

Tamate: The Life and Adventures of a Christian Hero is a biographical book written by Richard Lovett and published in 1904. The book tells the story of James Chalmers, a Scottish missionary who traveled to the South Pacific in the late 19th century to spread Christianity. Chalmers, who was known by the name Tamate by the locals, spent many years living among the people of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, learning their customs and language, and sharing his faith with them. The book recounts Chalmers' many adventures, including his travels through dangerous and uncharted territory, his encounters with cannibals and other hostile tribes, and his efforts to establish schools and churches in the region. Despite the many challenges he faced, Chalmers was deeply committed to his mission and worked tirelessly to improve the lives of the people he served. Lovett's book is a vivid and engaging account of Chalmers' life and achievements, drawing on his journals, letters, and other writings to bring his story to life. The book also provides a valuable insight into the history and culture of the South Pacific during this period, as well as the role of missionaries in shaping the region's development. Overall, Tamate is an inspiring and informative read that will appeal to anyone interested in the history of Christian missions or the exploration of the South Pacific.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
