Adventures In New Guinea (1886) - James Chalmers - Bog

Adventures In New Guinea is a travelogue written by James Chalmers, a Scottish missionary who spent over two decades in Papua New Guinea during the late 19th century. The book details Chalmers' experiences in the country, including his encounters with the indigenous people, his efforts to establish Christian missions, and his exploration of the remote regions of the country. Chalmers describes the customs and beliefs of the native tribes he meets, as well as the challenges he faced in attempting to spread Christianity in a region with deeply entrenched traditional beliefs. The book also includes vivid descriptions of the natural beauty of the country, including its flora and fauna, and the dangers posed by the harsh terrain and wildlife. Adventures In New Guinea provides a fascinating insight into the early days of European exploration and missionary work in Papua New Guinea, and remains a valuable historical document to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
