Miscellaneous Correspondence

Collection: Tanzania and Malawi in Records from Colonial Missionaries, 1857-1965    Volumes    Miscellaneous Correspondence
These assorted narrative accounts provide a detailed insight as to the changing nature of missionary work once Christian missionaries started having to compete with Muslim missionaries. These items also describe how the missionaries dealt with a native belief in Shambala. This grouping combines these missionary narratives with a genealogical history of the Wakilindi Clan of the Wasambaa tribe native to Tanzania and with Lord Brougham's essay 'On The African Slave Trade' that was published in 1876.
