Synopsis "SKETCHES OF LIFE AT SARAWAK BORNEO And FOLK-LORE IN BORNEO"
Harriette MacDougal was an early missionary to Borneo. Arriving with her husband and children along with a handful of other missionaries, the men soon traveled into the interior of the island to plot out the land. They never returned. So begins the story of a band of intrepid women who built a mission station and later a church and school, all while raising their children in a wild outpost of headhunters. They lived their lives as a sacrifice among the people who took their husbands. It didn't matter -- they came to bring the gospel to a people who had not yet heard it! This volume contains this wonderful, shocking and inspiring story, and also a brief anthropological sketch from a few decades later. Together they give a surprisingly thorough view of a people as yet barely touched by western civilization. As such, this volume is a valuable record of the life, culture and folklore of the Dyak people of Sarawak Borneo.
