Blue Cloth. Condition: VERY GOOD ( AVERAGE). With 20 Illustrations and an Original Map Prepared By the Royal Geographical Society (illustrator). New Edition 1969. Frederick Stanley Arnot's stature as a missionary pioneer has not been dimmed by the passage of time. His interest in Africa was stimulated directly by Livingstone, and when he sets out from Scotland in 1881 to take the gospel to Africa, he was consciously seeking to emulate the work so nobly begun by his predecessor. He was the first missionary to settle within the modern confines of Zambia and Katanga, thus opening up the interior of Africa to Christian evangelism. By his activities in Britain and South Africa, as well as by his journeyings into the interior, he played a large part in determining the nature and direction of the Christian initiative in Central Africa. Arnott's published writings were compiled directly from diaries and letters, and consequently they contain graphic accounts of the life of a missionary pioneer during the opening up of Central Africa. They provide an unrivaled record of both the trivia and the drama of the daily confrontation between whites and Africans, and as such, they contain much valuable information for the present day Africanist and historian. This volume is the tenth in the Missionary Researches and Travels Series, and includes an introduction by the editor, Professor Robert I. Rotberg of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
