The first volume of letters marked the centenary of their arrival in what is now Zimbabwe and described the missionaries' journey up from Grahamstown in the Eastern Cape and the establishment of a mission house near Lobengula's capital. This second volume continues the story of the Mission from 1880. The letters are the record of the trials and tribulations they suffered in their over-ambitious plans for expansion beyond Gubuluwayo: to the east in Mzila's Gazaland, another Nguni migrant state like that of Lobengula's Ndebele; for the Middle Zambezi among the sateless Tonga; and for the upper Zambezi in Lewanika's recently restored Lozi kingdom. The book ends on a note of failure after much loss of life, despite their courage and fortitude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 366\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8.2 x 5.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 25, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47565922631901,"sku":"9781779220783","price":109.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/NItLBiIks7BmBhnP2TGwqA.webp?v=1774249152","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/journeys-beyond-gubuluwayo-to-the-gaza-tonga-and-lozi-letters-of-the-jesuits-zambesi-mission-1880-1883-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
