A Thousand Trails - Personal Journal of William Cameron Townsend 1917-1919 Founder of Wycliffe Bible Translators

After his junior year in college, at age twenty-one, Williamm Cameron Townsend took leave of absence from his academic life to spend a year selling Bibles and Scripture portions in Central America. The year was 1917. This book is about that year, a year that became two, which ultimately became a lifetime of extraordinary service to God and the world's ethnic peoples. But this is more than a mere chronicle of daily events. It is rather a warm, intimate, often amusing, always deeply human and frequently highly dramatic look into the early life of one of the world's greatest mission statemen. --- from book's back cover
