In the Fall of 1892, Alexander Russell Webb, the American consul to
the Philippine Islands, resigned his post and set off for a tour of
the Indian subcontinent. Webb had converted to Islam and partnered
with Indian Muslims to commence an Islamic mission to the United
States. Part of the agreement allowed Webb to travel to India on
his way back to America and visit cities with large Muslim
populations. This work encompasses his travels, including: his
departure from Manila, sea voyages, stays in Singapore and Penang,
and most notably, the more than two months that he spent amongst
the Muslims of Rangoon, Calcutta, Bombay, Poona, Hyderabad, and
Madras. During Webb's travels he met with many prominent members of
the Indian Muslim community, and presented lectures on Islam to
large audiences. As an American Muslim, and one of the first
converts in North America to Islam, his first-person accounts
provide a unique perspective and historical account of Colonial
India and Indian Muslims in particular. A primary document that
will prove invaluable in studying the early Muslim history of the
United States and its relationship to India. Complete with
historical Introduction, Notes, Bibliography, and detailed Index.
