By William Pringle Livingstone

Book Overview

Christina Forsyth of Fingoland is a book written by William Pringle Livingstone and published in 1919. The book tells the true story of Christina Forsyth, a Scottish missionary who dedicated her life to serving the people of Fingoland, a remote region in Africa. Christina arrived in Africa in the late 1800s, and for the next 30 years, she worked tirelessly to improve the lives of the people in the region, particularly women and children.Despite her dedication, Christina faced numerous challenges, including cultural barriers, language barriers, and a lack of resources. She lived alone in a small hut for much of her life, and was often isolated from other Europeans. However, Christina remained committed to her work, and her efforts had a significant impact on the people of Fingoland.The book provides a detailed account of Christina's life and work, drawing on her own letters and journals, as well as the accounts of others who knew her. It also provides insight into the social and cultural context of Fingoland at the time, and the challenges faced by early missionaries in Africa.Overall, Christina Forsyth of Fingoland is a compelling and inspiring account of one woman's dedication to serving others, and the impact that can be made by a single individual in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
