''Christina Forsyth of Fingoland: The Story of the Loneliest Woman in Africa'' is a biographical account written by William Pringle Livingstone and published in 1919. The book tells the story of Christina Forsyth, a Scottish missionary who devoted her life to serving the people of Fingoland, a remote region in South Africa. Forsyth arrived in Fingoland in 1875 and spent the next 40 years working tirelessly to improve the lives of the local people. She established schools, hospitals, and churches, and fought against the injustices and abuses perpetrated by colonial authorities. Despite facing numerous challenges and setbacks, Forsyth remained committed to her mission and became a beloved figure among the people of Fingoland.The book provides a detailed account of Forsyth’s life and work, drawing on her personal letters and journals as well as interviews with people who knew her. It also explores the broader historical and cultural context of her work, including the impact of colonialism on the region and the role of missionaries in promoting social and cultural change.Overall, ''Christina Forsyth of Fingoland'' is a compelling and inspiring story of one woman’s dedication to serving others in the face of adversity. It offers a unique perspective on the history of South Africa and the important role played by missionaries in shaping the country’s social and cultural landscape.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
