The Last Martyrs of Eromanga

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 chiefs, who saw their teachings as a threat to their power.Despite the dangers, Gordon and Powell persisted in their mission, and their work eventually led to the conversion of many islanders to Christianity. However, in 1861, the couple was brutally murdered by a group of warriors who opposed their teachings. The Last Martyrs Of Eromanga recounts the couple's life and work, as well as their tragic end, and serves as a tribute to their dedication and sacrifice.The book provides a vivid portrayal of life in the South Pacific in the 19th century, and offers insights into the challenges faced by early Christian missionaries. It is a poignant and inspiring account of two individuals who gave their lives in service to their faith, and is a testament to the power of belief and the human spirit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
