About This Item
Dayton, Oh: The Otterbein Press, 1923. Very good.. 30pp. 16mo. Publisher's wrappers, stapled, with photographic portrait of Manly on front wrapper. Minor soiling and staining to wrappers. The rare updated second edition after the first of 1919, relating the story of David Jayn Manly's life from Sierra Leone to his college experiences in Indiana. The first edition was published under a different title, From the Jungles of Africa to Indiana Central University. Indian Central University is now known as the University of Indianapolis. The present work traces Manly's experiences from his village in Sierra Leone, being taught by missionaries, then his decision to leave Africa in order to obtain further education in the United States. Manly made his way to Freetown, where he traveled by ship to New York, then Indianapolis by train under the sponsorship of the Christian Endeavor Society of Indiana Central University. This edition concludes with a two-and-a-half-page update on Manly's American experiences, headed "October, 1923."
Not in Work or Blockson. OCLC reports just a single copy of this edition, at the University of Indianapolis, and only two copies of the first edition (also the University of Indianapolis plus the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill).
