Publisher's Synopsis

""Winning A Primitive People"" is a memoir written by Donald Fraser, a Scottish missionary who spent sixteen years working among the Ngoni, Senga, and Tumbuka peoples of Central Africa. The book offers a detailed account of Fraser's experiences as a missionary in Africa, including his struggles to learn the local languages, his efforts to establish relationships with the tribes, and his attempts to convert them to Christianity.Throughout the book, Fraser provides vivid descriptions of the customs, beliefs, and practices of the Ngoni, Senga, and Tumbuka peoples. He also recounts many of the challenges he faced, including conflicts with local chiefs, outbreaks of disease, and the dangers of living in a war-torn region.Despite these difficulties, Fraser persevered in his mission, and his efforts eventually led to the establishment of Christian churches among the tribes. ""Winning A Primitive People"" is a fascinating and inspiring account of one man's determination to bring the gospel to a remote and hostile region of Africa.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
