Mary Slessor of Calabar: Pioneer Missionary is a biography written by W.P. Livingstone about the life and work of Mary Slessor, a Scottish missionary who dedicated her life to helping the people of Calabar (now part of Nigeria) in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book details Slessor's humble beginnings in Scotland, her journey to Calabar, and her tireless efforts to improve the lives of the local people. Slessor's work included advocating for women's rights, fighting against the practice of twin killing, and spreading the Christian faith. Livingstone's biography provides a detailed account of Slessor's life, including her struggles and triumphs, and sheds light on the impact of her work in Calabar. The book is a testament to Slessor's dedication and courage, and serves as an inspiration to those who seek to make a positive impact in the world.The belief in witchcraft dominated the lives of the people like a dark shadow more menacing than the shadow of death. Taking advantage of their superstition and fear the witch-doctors--some of the cunningest rogues the world has produced--held them in abject bondage, and Mary was constantly at battle with the results of their handiwork.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
