ByRev. W.S. Tyler

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
The American Protestant mission to the Assyrians, founded in 1835, under the auspices of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions is well known and documented. The Americans originally called this mission the "Nestorian Mission". Less well known is the mission that was established in Mosul in 1849 directed towards the Assyrians of the Chaldean Catholic Church and the Syrian Orthodox Church. This mission was called the “Assyrian Mission” based on the recognition of the geographical area in which it was operating. Rev. Henry Lobdell joined this mission in 1851 as a medical missionary and served in it until his early death in 1855 at the age of 28. This memoir provides details of the early history of the mission and is an important witness to the life and activities of the Assyrians in Mosul and the surrounding areas of the mid 19th century.
