The Reminiscences Of Daniel Bliss (1920)

The Reminiscences of Daniel Bliss is a book written by Daniel Bliss and published in 1920. It is a personal account of his life, starting from his childhood in Lebanon, to his education in America, and his career as a missionary and educator in the Middle East. The book is divided into chapters that cover different periods of his life, and each chapter is filled with anecdotes and personal reflections that give readers a glimpse into the life of an American missionary in the 19th century. Bliss writes about his experiences as a student at Amherst College, where he was exposed to the ideas of the abolitionist movement and developed a strong sense of social justice. He also describes his journey to Syria, where he worked as a missionary and established the Syrian Protestant College (now known as the American University of Beirut). Throughout the book, Bliss reflects on the challenges he faced as a missionary and educator, including cultural differences, language barriers, and political unrest in the region. He also shares stories of the people he met and worked with, including students, colleagues, and local leaders. Overall, The Reminiscences of Daniel Bliss offers readers a unique perspective on the history of American Protestant missions in the Middle East, as well as a personal account of one man's journey to make a difference in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
