Summary: "Pioneers and Founders" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the lives and efforts of notable missionaries from British and American backgrounds, showcasing their contributions to the spread of Christianity over the past two centuries. Through the narratives of individuals like John Eliot, the book aims to illuminate both the challenges faced by these missionaries and the positive impacts they had on indigenous populations. The opening of the book sets the stage by providing an introduction to its aim of documenting the significant work of missionaries, particularly focusing on those with British origins while consciously leaving out notable Jesuit and Moravian missions. Yonge begins with John Eliot, dubbed the Apostle of the Red Indians, detailing his early life, motivations for missionary work, and initial encounters with the Pequot Indians in New England. The introduction highlights Eliot's deep devotion to converting the indigenous people, emphasizing his struggles against colonial prejudices and the various dynamics at play between settlers and Native Americans. The author presents Eliot as a central figure whose pioneering spirit paved the way for future missionary efforts, framing the book as both an homage to his character and a broader commentary on the complex nature of missionary work.
