Publisher's Synopsis

""A Half Century Among The Siamese And The Lao: An Autobiography"" is a memoir written by Daniel McGilvary, an American Presbyterian missionary who spent fifty years living and working among the people of Thailand and Laos in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book chronicles his experiences as a missionary, including his efforts to spread Christianity, establish schools and hospitals, and improve the lives of the local people. McGilvary also provides insights into the culture and customs of the Siamese and Lao people, and the challenges he faced in his work. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era and the life of a dedicated missionary who devoted his life to serving others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
