Pioneering in the Congo

This memoir by John McKendree Springer provides an enthralling account of his experiences as a missionary in the Congo in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Springer's vivid descriptions of the people, landscape, and wildlife of the region provide a striking contrast to the violence and upheaval of the colonial era in Africa. This book is an inspiring testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a valuable historical document of a bygone era.
