Harriette MacDougal was an early missionary to Borneo. Arriving
with her husband and children along with a handful of other
missionaries, the men soon traveled into the interior of the island
to plot out the land. They never returned. So begins the story of a
band of intrepid women who built a mission station and later a
church and school, all while raising their children in a wild
outpost of headhunters. They lived their lives as a sacrifice among
the people who took their husbands. It didn't matter -- they came
to bring the gospel to a people who had not yet heard it! This
volume contains this wonderful, shocking and inspiring story, and
also a brief anthropological sketch from a few decades later.
Together they give a surprisingly thorough view of a people as yet
barely touched by western civilization. As such, this volume is a
valuable record of the life, culture and folklore of the Dyak
people of Sarawak Borneo.
