Synopsis

Excerpt from The Captive Missionary: Being an Account of the Country and People of Abyssinia; Embracing a Narrative of King Theodore's Life, and His Treatment of Political and Religious Missions

In retracing the events of that long imprison ment, I drew occasionally on some of my own letters and papers which have already appeared in public print. Willingly would I have avoided making use of these materials, had not truth and candour rendered it absolutely imperative.

The author's personal narrative reveals the brutality and chaos that pervaded King Theodore's reign while providing a nuanced look at the complex man behind the throne.
