Excerpt from The Life of George Grenfell: Congo Missionary and Explorer When I was requested by the Committee of the Baptist Missionary Society to write the biography of my friend and former fellow-student, George Grenfell, it was stipulated that the volume should contain a section of about a hundred pages to be contributed by an expert (Sir Harry Johnston, if possible), in which the scientific side of Grenfell's work should be duly discussed and appraised. Subsequently, Sir Harry Johnston consented to undertake this task. But when Grenfell's papers and journals came to hand, it was apparent that two or three chapters included in a general biography would be quite inadequate for the worthy treatment of Grenfell's scientific achievements. It was therefore arranged that Sir Harry Johnston should write a separate work, an arrangement in which I cordially concurred. That work has been published under the title George Grenfell and the Congo, and has secured the high encomiums of competent critics.

Excerpt from Life Among the Pygmies: Of the Ituri Forest, Congo Free State Before writing about my little pygmy friends, ' I' should first of all like to mention a few facts'about the Congo Free State. This enormous country, reaching from the Nile to the West Coast, may practically be called one huge forest. Fortunately for its opening up, Nature has provided it with the most splendid service of water ways in the world. Twisting and twining, the mighty Congo river runs like a snake through its centre, gathering into its bed from north and south many other' large rivers like the Kasai, Ubangi, and Aruwimi (the latter of which joined by the Ituri, traverses _the 'whole of the Stanley Forest), with their sources rising close to the Nile.

Excerpt from A Voice From the Congo: Comprising Stories, Anecdotes, and Descriptive Notes IT was no high motive that took me to Africa. I went there simply and solely to gratify my love of adventure. At the age of fifteen I commenced my travels, and during the course of my wanderings in New Zealand, Australia, and in unknown regions of northern Borneo, I experienced many ups and downs. These vicissitudes only whetted my appc tite, and led me to Central Africa, where I passed the five most impressionable years of my life. I took to Africans from the first. I was young, full of life and high spirits, and regarded every one I met as a friend. My confidence was sometimes checked, but never shaken. With youthful exuberance of spirits I fraternised with every one I met, and I soon found there was a fund of good-humour in the African composition. There was a good side to even the most villainous-looking savage, and I generally found it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Visit to Stanley's Rear-Guard: At Major Barttelot's Camp on the Aruhwimi, With an Account of River-Life on the Congo The favourable reception accorded to the article entitled "Major Barttelot's Camp on the Aruhwimi" (in 'Blackwood's Magazine' for February 1889) by the press and the public generally, has encouraged me to write out the full narrative of how I first met the officers of Stanley's rear-guard, and the circumstances which led to my visit to Yambuya Camp, in the hope that it will prove of equal interest to my readers.

W. Holman Bentley, D. D., University of Glasgow by H. Margo Bentley Pdf
Excerpt from W. Holman Bentley, D. D., University of Glasgow: The Life and Labours of a Congo Pioneer T was with no little hesitancy that I complied with the request to write an account of my dear husband's life. There were so many reasons that made it almost impossible for me to describe with any fairness the character and work of such a man as he was, that I shrank from the task. But when, finally, more than one friend urged it upon me, I felt in a way constrained to do it, if but to show how much may be achieved by any one. Man, if only he be willing to place himself unreservedly in the hands of God, to be used by Him and for His glory.

Six Years of Adventure in Congo-Land (Classic Reprint) by E. J. Glave Pdf
Excerpt from Six Years of Adventure in Congo-Land Mr. E. J. Glave, the author of this book, is one of those young Englishmen who, in 1883, were sent to me for service on the Congo, by the Chief of the Bureau of the International Association of Brussels. I soon recognized in Mr. Glave those qualities for which I was eagerly searching in the applicants for service, and which were absolutely necessary in a pioneer. He was tall, strong, and of vigorous constitution, with a face marked by earnestness and resolve, and when I began questioning him I was agreeably sur prised to find his sentiments equal to his appearance. His period of probation at Stanley Pool was therefore short. I was in need of a chief for a new station that was to be built at Lukolela - a place about three hundred miles above the Pool, and I selected him.

Excerpt from The Truth About the Congo: The Chicago Tribune Articles Among the groups there brought together was one of Congo natives. This group was commonly known as the pygmy group, though but four out of the nine members composing it made claims to be such. The group was brought by Mr. S. P. Verner, at one time missionary to the Congo, who was engaged by the exposition to make a special journey into central Africa to procure it. Four members of the group were Batua, the others were large blacks representing the Bakuba and Baluba. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Master Builder on the Congo by Andrew F. Hensey Pdf
Excerpt from A Master Builder on the Congo: A Memorial to the Service and Devotion of Robert Ray Eldred and Lillian Byers Eldred Two months had to ensue before the details of his passing could come by mail. When these arrived and were read in the papers, the story of his tragic death and forest burial passed into the household life of the Disciples and his lonely grave on the banks of the Lokolo is coming to be counted among their choice heritages. But the friends of Ray Eldred feel that the life and labours of this man of God ought to be as well known as the story of his heroic death. His com rades in the African field would have the churches know some of the things which made this leader so large a part of the life of the Congo Mission that, when he had fallen, it seemed imperative that rein forcements should be sent at once to take his place.
