A Pilgrimage To My Motherland is a non-fiction book written by Robert Campbell, originally published in 1861. The book is an account of Campbell’s journey among the Egbas and Yorubas of Central Africa in 1859-60. Campbell was a Scottish missionary who had spent several years working in West Africa before embarking on this journey. The book describes Campbell’s experiences as he travels through the region, encountering various tribes and cultures. He provides detailed descriptions of the people he meets, their customs, and their way of life. Campbell also discusses the political situation in the region at the time, including the conflicts between different tribes and the impact of colonialism.Throughout the book, Campbell reflects on his own identity as a Scottish missionary in Africa and his relationship with the people he meets. He also discusses his religious beliefs and the role of Christianity in the region.A Pilgrimage To My Motherland provides a fascinating insight into the culture and history of Central Africa in the mid-nineteenth century. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in African history, anthropology, or colonialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
