"Ten Years in Burma" by Rev. Julius Smith is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This memoir details the missionary experiences and observations of the author during his decade-long service in Burma, aiming to illuminate the lives, customs, and conditions of its people to readers unfamiliar with tropical mission fields. Smith's journey offers insights into his own challenges and triumphs as a Methodist missionary navigating a foreign culture. The opening of the book outlines Smith's motivations for becoming a missionary, recounting his formative moments that led him to Burma. It describes his departure from Kansas City, the treacherous voyage across the Atlantic and Indian Ocean, and the eventual arrival in Rangoon. He paints a vivid picture of the mixed emotions experienced during his arrival, capturing the unique social dynamics and the overwhelming sense of isolation amidst a crowd of strangers. Smith's reflections serve to establish a personal connection with his readers, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of his mission work and the vibrant but challenging life in Burma that unfolds throughout the book.
