Summary: "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.
