The first part gives a general overview of Uganda, including its history, geography, and the various tribes that inhabited the region. It also describes the arrival of the first European explorers and traders, and the subsequent establishment of the CMS mission in the area. The second part of the book focuses on the work of the missionaries, including their efforts to learn the local language, establish schools and hospitals, and convert the local population to Christianity.Throughout the book, Stock provides vivid descriptions of the landscape and the people, drawing on her own experiences as a missionary in Uganda. She also includes numerous anecdotes and stories about the challenges and successes of the mission, as well as the interactions between the missionaries and the local people. The Story of Uganda and the Victoria Nyanza Mission is a fascinating account of a pivotal moment in the history of East Africa, and a testament to the courage and dedication of the early Christian missionaries who sought to bring the gospel to the people of Uganda.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
