Publisher's Synopsis

""Alexander Mackay: Missionary Hero Of Uganda"" is a biographical book written by Charles Thomas Wilson in 1894. The book chronicles the life and work of Alexander Mackay, a Scottish missionary who dedicated his life to spreading Christianity and education in Uganda during the late 19th century. The book begins with Mackay's early life in Scotland and his decision to become a missionary. It then follows his journey to Africa, his arrival in Uganda, and his efforts to establish a mission station in the country. The book also explores Mackay's interactions with the local people, his struggles with illness and isolation, and his eventual success in building a thriving Christian community in Uganda. Throughout the book, Wilson portrays Mackay as a courageous and selfless individual who was deeply committed to his faith and the people he served. He also highlights the challenges and obstacles that Mackay faced as a missionary in a foreign land, including cultural differences, political upheaval, and the hostility of some local leaders. ""Alexander Mackay: Missionary Hero Of Uganda"" provides a fascinating glimpse into the life of a pioneering missionary who played a significant role in the development of modern Uganda. It is a tribute to Mackay's dedication, perseverance, and faith, and an inspiring read for anyone interested in the history of Christian missions in Africa.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
