The book describes the author's experiences as a missionary in the Kongo region of Africa during the early 20th century. Lerrigo details the challenges he faced in trying to establish a Christian mission in a region that was resistant to outside influence. He also discusses the political and social dynamics of the Kongo region, including the conflicts between different tribes and the impact of European colonization. The title of the book, Rock-Breakers, refers to the local laborers who were hired to break up rocks for use in building projects. Through his interactions with these workers and other locals, Lerrigo provides insights into the daily life and culture of the Kongo people. Overall, Rock-Breakers provides a fascinating glimpse into a little-known corner of African history and the efforts of early Christian missionaries to spread their faith in the face of significant obstacles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
