Does anyone have any good recommended reading on the life of Methodist Missionaries in these areas during the 1890s? My great-great grandfather was a Missionary in these areas and while there is a fair bit of ephemera about his work and the running of institutions I'd like to get a better sense of what day-to-day life would have been like for these people at the time (1890s). I have a funny and moving letter where he reassures my great-great grandmother that he will make sure he finds a cow for her and updates her about the sourcing of chickens (they were Devon farm stock) but not much sense of how they might have lived. My great-grandmother apparently had wonderful stories of her time there (she was born in Wellawatee) but these sadly haven't been passed down to me.
