"The Story of Chalmers of New Guinea" by Janet Harvey Kelman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life and missionary work of James Chalmers, focusing on his early years in Scotland and his courageous mission in New Guinea, where he endeavored to engage with indigenous tribes and promote peace and Christianity. The opening of the text introduces readers to a young James Chalmers, detailing his adventurous spirit as a boy in Argyll, Scotland, where he delighted in sailing and outdoor mischief. As he matures, the narrative shifts to his deepening sense of purpose driven by a desire to serve others, inspired by letters depicting the hardships of people far away. He eventually embarks on a journey that leads him to Rarotonga and then to New Guinea, setting the stage for his mission work among native tribes. The beginning paints a vivid picture of Chalmers' character, highlighting his bravery, compassion, and dedication to a cause that would lead him to confront both physical dangers and the complexities of cultural interaction.
