Among The Mongols is a book written by James Gilmour that was first published in 1883. It is an account of the author's experiences living among the Mongol people in Mongolia during the late 19th century. The book is divided into chapters that cover different aspects of Gilmour's life in Mongolia, including his travels, his interactions with the locals, and his efforts to spread Christianity in the region.Gilmour was a Scottish missionary who spent many years living among the Mongol people, learning their language and customs, and trying to convert them to Christianity. His book provides a detailed and vivid description of life in Mongolia at the time, including the harsh climate, the nomadic lifestyle of the Mongol people, and the challenges of traveling in such a remote and rugged region.Throughout the book, Gilmour reflects on his experiences and observations, offering insights into the culture and beliefs of the Mongol people, as well as his own struggles and triumphs as a missionary. He also describes the many obstacles he faced in his efforts to convert the Mongols, including their deep-seated traditions and suspicion of outsiders.Overall, Among The Mongols is a fascinating and insightful account of life in Mongolia during the late 19th century, as seen through the eyes of a dedicated missionary. It offers a unique glimpse into a world that is vastly different from our own, and provides valuable insights into the history and culture of this fascinating region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
