Pioneers of Ceylon

Pioneers of Ceylon: a Brief Record of the Life of William Walker is a fascinating historical account of a forgotten hero who played a crucial role in the transformation of colonial Ceylon into a modern and prosperous nation. William Walker, a Scottish doctor and Christian missionary, came to Ceylon in the mid-19th century, and devoted his life to improving the health, education, and wellbeing of the native people. With his innovative methods, his compassionate heart, and his unshakable faith, he inspired a generation of Ceylonese leaders who would later spearhead the country's independence movement. With its vivid descriptions, authentic detail, and inspiring message of hope and courage, this book offers a valuable lesson on the power of Christian mission to transform lives and societies.
