Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book documents the 1830s exploratory mission undertaken by Arbouset and Daumas, two missionaries from the Paris Evangelical Missionary Society, in the regions northeast of the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. The book provides a first-hand account of the indigenous tribes, landscapes, and missionary work in the area. The authors' descriptions of their encounters with tribes such as the Bassoutos, Bastaards, and Mantætis offer valuable insights into the social, cultural, and religious practices of these groups. The book also sheds light on the complex political dynamics and intertribal conflicts shaping the region. The authors' observations on the Mantætis kingdom, led by the formidable Queen Mantætis, are particularly noteworthy. The book not only recounts the authors' experiences but also explores the broader historical context of the region, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities faced by missionaries in the 19th-century Southern Africa. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
