Excerpt from Penetrating South America's Darkest Part
The wild and simple children of the forest in the interior of South America, and retaining Vivid recollections of the people, and their country, and the manner in which they were lifted from barbarism and heathendom to civiliza tion and Christianity, I must ever have a peculiar interest in the destinies of the long-neglected peoples of that continent. This interest, and my knowledge of the need and of the possibilities, will, I trust, be a sufficient apology for presenting, as briefly as possible, an account of what I have witnessed of the struggles and successes of a pioneer effort initiated by my parents to carry the Gospel light into the darkness of Inland South America.
