By James Douglas Gordon and George N. Gordon

Book Overview

The Last Martyrs of Eromanga is a memoir written by James D. Gordon in 1863. The book tells the story of George N. Gordon and his wife, Ellen Catherine Powell, who were missionaries in Eromanga, an island in the South Pacific. The couple was dedicated to spreading Christianity among the island's indigenous people, but their efforts were met with resistance from the local tribe. Despite the danger, Gordon and Powell continued to preach and teach, eventually leading to their tragic deaths at the hands of the islanders. The book provides a detailed account of their lives and work, as well as the events leading up to their martyrdom. It is a compelling story of faith, courage, and sacrifice that offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century missionary work in the Pacific.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
