Nelson is a collection of personal sketches written in the early 20th century. This work captures the experiences and challenges of a missionary's life in Syria, focusing on the author's arrival and subsequent adventures, highlighting the cultural richness and difficulties of his new surroundings. At the start of the book, the author recounts his arrival in Syria, detailing the chaotic yet vibrant scene at the port of Beirut as he and his fellow travelers disembark from a steamer. Nelson introduces readers to the hospitality of fellow missionaries, such as Mr. Eddy, who welcomed him and his wife after their challenging journey. He vividly describes his first impressions of the region and his transition into life as a missionary, including trying to establish a home amid bureaucratic hurdles and cultural differences. The opening sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the missionary endeavor, language barriers, and the bonds formed within the close-knit community of workers dedicated to serving in the region.
