A. (Andrew) Campbell

Born in 1845, Andrew Campbell was a Scottish missionary associated with the Free Church of Scotland's Santal mission in Chota Nagpur, in eastern India. Reference works and library records describe him as a missionary and Santali scholar, and his writings are linked with work among Santal communities.

He is best known as the author connected with Santal Folk Tales, a collection that helped preserve traditional stories in print. That makes him interesting not only as a religious figure, but also as someone who recorded local narrative traditions at a time when many such tales were passed on mainly by word of mouth.

Campbell died in 1919. While biographical details about his personal life are limited in the sources I could confirm, his name remains tied to the history of missionary scholarship and to early published collections of Santal folklore.
