Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Perils of the Ocean and Wilderness: Or, Narratives of Shipwreck and Indian Captivity, Gleaned From Early Missionary Annals No works are more popular, or generally read, than those describing the perils by sea and land, through which the writers have passed; and one work of fiction, the Robinson Crusoe of Defoe, will ever be a favorite from its apparent reality, its combination of perils from shipwreck and perils from the barbarous savage, which the imaginary hero recounts. No fiction can equal the real sufferings of every kind endured by the early missionaries to this country. Like Saint Paul, they might indeed speak of their perils - perils by sea, perils by land, perils from robbers, perils from false brethren. Fortunately for our edification, many of them left narratives of their adventures, and some of these, we have gathered in this volume from various sources, which we might call original.
