"Robert Moffat, the Missionary Hero of Kuruman" by David J. Deane is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This biography chronicles the life and missionary work of Robert Moffat in South Africa, detailing his experiences, challenges, and achievements in spreading Christianity to indigenous tribes. The book is likely to appeal to readers interested in missionary history, tales of courage and perseverance, and the cultural encounters during colonial times. The opening of the memoir establishes the importance of Moffat's mission and the significant impact it had on both the indigenous populations and the broader missionary movement. It begins with a preface that highlights Moffat's heroic determination and the dangers he faced, including threats from wild animals and hostile tribes. The narrative draws the reader into the historical context of South Africa’s missionary efforts, particularly showcasing the initial struggles and enthusiasm of early missionaries working to educate and convert local communities. Moffat's early life, his decision to become a missionary, and his subsequent trials as he embarks on this path set the stage for a rich exploration of his faith-driven journey in Africa.
