1898*1st* Pilkington In Uganda - Charles Forbes Harford-Battersby (Marshall Brothers) Hardback with gilt.

Pilkington of Uganda was written by Charles Forbes Harford-Battersby and first published in 1898, with an introductory chapter by Rev. J.H. Skrine. It is a biography of George Lawrence Pilkington (1865-1897), an Irish Protestant missionary of the Church Missionary Society.

The book details his journey to Uganda in 1891 with Bishop Alfred Tucker’s party, his experiences with the local people, and his missionary work. It covers his linguistic contributions, including laying the groundwork for the modern Luganda alphabet and translating much of the Bible into Luganda alongside local converts. Additionally, it describes his role in quelling the Nubian unrest in Busoga, where he was shot in the hip and died in 1897. The book also touches on the religious and political context of Uganda in the late 19th century, and includes maps and illustrations to provide context.
