Jessie Fremont Traver Moore (1857 - 1936) spent thirty-six years as a Baptist missionary in Assam, India, where she and her husband, the Rev. Pitt Holland Moore, worked as educators, translators, and publishers. Moore, who was born in rural New York to a family with abolitionist sympathies, arrived in India with her husband early in 1881. She soon became involved in her husband's efforts to translate the New Testament into Assamese and began making careful records of missionary activity in northeastern India. The couple's daughter, Clara, was born at the end of 1881, though Moore later chose to send her back to the United States to receive an education. Moore eventually helped found and run a school for girls and helped operate the Baptist Mission Press, which printed her husband's Assamese New Testament and three of these four volumes. Following the death of her husband in 1915, Moore sailed for the United States, where she returned to New York and published the final volume of this set. These accounts are both Moore's personal diariesdetailed day-by-day records of her life and work as a missionary between about 1880 and 1915and a report intended to inform the broader Baptist missionary community of the state of Christian influence in northeastern India. The first volume contains a lengthy appendix, "A General View of the Assam Mission Field," which includes statistics on missionary workers, descriptions of missionary "stations," and explanations of missionary efforts in education, printing, and infrastructure development. The final volume includes reports of several missionary meetings, including the Assam Mission Conference and the All-Assam Convention, as well as memorials honoring Rev. Moore after his death. The full set of four volumes offers a wealth of information on both missionary efforts in Assam as well as a detailed and personal account of an American woman's life abroad. These books are also the output of Christian colonial publishing: the Baptist Mission Press was established and operated by an American missionary woman printing English- and Assamese-language material in India for both a missionary and local audience.
