Nev March’s Reviews > Among the Wild Tribes of the Afghan Frontier A Record of Sixteen Years' Close Intercourse with the Natives of the Indian Marches > Status Update

Waaaay too much about the difficulties and successes of converting youths to Christianity. However, to do so among villages and towns of Afghanistan one imagines the good doctor must have had a death wish.

Not so. His medical missionary work succeeded in great part because of his own upstanding character and the desperate need in those remote parts for medical care.

An easy read with short anecdotes illustrating the peculiar contradictions of the tribes in pre modern Afghanistan and what is now modern Pakistan

Good research material from a medical missionary, a physician who lived in the north west frontier and preached to convert Muslims to Christianity.
