Publisher's Synopsis
Life Among The Pygmies Of The Ituri Forest, Congo Free State (1905) is a non-fiction book written by James Jonathan Harrison, an American missionary who lived among the Pygmy tribes of the Ituri Forest in the Congo Free State during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book provides a detailed account of Harrison's experiences and observations during his time living among the Pygmies, including their customs, beliefs, and way of life. Harrison also discusses the challenges he faced as a missionary, including the language barrier and the difficulty of gaining the trust of the Pygmy people.
