Samuel Crowther: The Slave Boy Who Became Bishop Of The Niger is a biographical account of the life of Samuel Ajayi Crowther, who was born into slavery in the Yoruba region of Nigeria in the early 19th century. The book traces Crowther's journey from being captured and sold into slavery as a child, to his eventual liberation and education by Christian missionaries, and his rise to become the first African bishop of the Anglican Church.Written by Jesse Page and first published in 1890, the book provides a detailed and inspiring account of Crowther's life, highlighting the challenges he faced as a former slave trying to navigate the complexities of colonialism and missionary work in Africa. The book also sheds light on the wider historical context of the time, including the transatlantic slave trade, the scramble for Africa, and the role of Christian missionaries in the region.Overall, Samuel Crowther: The Slave Boy Who Became Bishop Of The Niger is a compelling and informative read that offers a unique perspective on the intersection of slavery, colonialism, and Christianity in Africa during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
