The Story of John G. Paton; Or, Thirty Years Among South Sea Cannibals

John Gibson Paton

1824–1907

Drawn from one of the most dramatic chapters in 19th-century missionary history, this Scottish minister spent years in the South Pacific and later became widely known for his vivid books and tireless public speaking. His life joined deep religious conviction with remarkable endurance, personal loss, and a lasting influence on Presbyterian missions.
