Description

Explore a significant historical record with this volume of Missionary Researches and Travels. This work provides a vivid account of the missionary efforts led by the Rev. Hope Masterton Waddell between 1829 and 1858. Readers gain a direct perspective on the transformative years in Jamaica, where Waddell witnessed the slave revolt and the period following the abolition of slavery. The text details how the mission assisted former slaves in adapting to freedom within new communities. Moving from the Caribbean to West Africa in 1846, the narrative follows the mission to Calabar, located in what is now Nigeria. This book stands as one of the best European accounts of pre-colonial Africa. It documents the mission's efforts to address local practices such as polygamy and human sacrifice. This historical text is an essential resource for those studying world history, colonial missionary work, and the social changes in the West Indies and Africa during the 19th century.
