Meant as a companion volume to Sir Harry Johnston’s; “George Grenfell and the Congo” this work concentrates on Grenfell’s missionary efforts rather than his explorations. “.it is refreshing to recall the remembrance of this good man a missionary in the purest sense of the word; who succeeded as the messenger of peace in irradiating the immense basin of the Congo by his itineraries and in endowing its geography with fixed points carefully determined by astronomical observations” from his obituary in the Le Movement Geographic The Religious Tract Society hardcover

May 1909". George Grenfell 1849-1906 was a missionary and explorer who was awarded the Patron's Medal by the Royal Geographical Society for his detailed account of his travels through Congo and Cameroon.

George Hawker 1857-1932 to write this biography. Hawker heavily relied on accounts from Grenfell's friends and family. This included Grenfell's sister Mary Rowe and his second wife Rosana Edgerley who accompanied him on his travels. Loosely inserted is an advertising slip for the Congo Reform Association. Octavo.
