<p>This book contains reminiscences of Rev. James Kennedy who was a missionary of the London Missionary Society during his long residence in the North Western regions of India and Kumaon (present day Uttarakhand). Rev. Kennedy had landed in Calcutta on 19 January 1839 en route to Benares where he had been appointed for doing missionary work. From 1868 to 1877 he was posted in Kumaon where the Mission did some pioneering work including opening of schools female education building a leper’s asylum sanitation work etc. The amount of information it contains descriptive social evangelistic missions and even political aspect is astounding. The chief value of the book is the picture of missionary labour it presents – its trials and difficulties its results rewards and prospects. The book also contains some rare illustrations.</p>
