Description

This compelling historical memoir captures the lived experience of Reverend Hope Masterton Waddell's sixteen years in Jamaica and subsequent mission work in Calabar, West Africa from 1829 to 1858. Originally published in 1863 and reissued in 1970, the account provides an intimate portrait of Jamaica during the slave revolt and the critical years following slavery's abolition, documenting how missions supported formerly enslaved people in establishing new communities and adapting to freedom. Waddell's narrative of pre-colonial West Africa ranks among the most significant European observations of the era, offering rare insights into local cultures and missionary efforts to reform practices such as polygamy and human sacrifice. Essential reading for historians of missionary activity, African history, Caribbean slavery, and nineteenth-century colonialism.

Key Features

Waddell's firsthand account spans sixteen transformative years in Jamaica during the slave revolt and post-abolition period.

The West Indies section documents how the mission supported formerly enslaved people in building and adapting to freedom in new communities.

His narrative from Calabar, now Nigeria, represents one of the most valuable European records of pre-colonial Central African society and culture.

Originally published in 1863 and reissued in 1970, this volume combines historical authenticity with accessibility for modern readers of world history.
