Winning A Primitive People is a non-fiction book written by Donald Fraser in 1922. The book is a detailed account of the author's sixteen-year experience living and working among the Ngoni, Senga, and Tumbuka tribes in Central Africa. The author describes the tribes as being warlike and primitive, with their daily lives centered around hunting, gathering, and farming. Fraser shares his experiences of learning the language, customs, and traditions of the tribes, and his efforts to convert them to Christianity. The book also includes detailed descriptions of the geography, flora, and fauna of the region, as well as the challenges faced by the author and his fellow missionaries, including disease, famine, and conflict. Overall, Winning A Primitive People is a fascinating and insightful account of the author's efforts to bring Christianity to a remote and isolated region of Central Africa, and the challenges he faced in doing so. The book provides a unique perspective on the culture and traditions of the Ngoni, Senga, and Tumbuka tribes, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in African history and anthropology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
