Journals of the Rev. Messrs. Isenberg and Krapf, Missionaries
In 1829 the Church Missionary Society began operations in the African kingdom of Abyssinia (Ethiopia). The Anglican clergyman Charles Isenberg (1806–64) joined the mission there in 1835, followed by Johann Ludwig Krapf (1810–81) in 1837.

However, they were determined to establish a base in the central Ethiopian kingdom of Shoa (Shewa), and did so in 1839, ent…
