Forty Years Among The Zulus is a memoir written by Josiah Tyler, detailing his experiences living among the Zulu people in South Africa for four decades. Tyler, a Christian missionary, arrived in South Africa in the mid-19th century and spent his life working to spread Christianity and improve the lives of the Zulu people.The book covers a wide range of topics, including Tyler's interactions with Zulu chiefs and leaders, his efforts to establish schools and churches in the region, and his observations on the Zulu culture and way of life. Tyler also discusses the impact of colonialism on the Zulu people, including the devastating effects of the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879.Throughout the book, Tyler emphasizes his deep respect for the Zulu people and their traditions, and his belief that Christianity could be integrated into their culture in a way that would benefit both groups. He also provides vivid descriptions of the landscape and wildlife of South Africa, as well as the daily life of the Zulu people.Overall, Forty Years Among The Zulus provides a unique perspective on the history of South Africa, as well as a fascinating look at the life and work of a Christian missionary in 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.
