by John William Marsh

Book Overview

""A Memoir of Allen F. Gardiner"" is a biographical account of the life of Allen F. Gardiner, a British naval officer and missionary who dedicated his life to spreading Christianity in South America. Written by John William Marsh and originally published in 1857, this book provides a detailed look at Gardiner's early life, his naval career, and his eventual decision to become a missionary. The book also explores the challenges that Gardiner faced in his missionary work, including the harsh conditions of the South American wilderness and the resistance he encountered from the indigenous people. Despite these challenges, Gardiner remained committed to his mission and ultimately died of starvation while attempting to establish a mission station on the coast of Patagonia. ""A Memoir of Allen F. Gardiner"" is a moving tribute to a man who sacrificed everything in the pursuit of his faith, and it provides valuable insight into the history of Christian missionary work in South America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
