Description
"A few of these pictures of myself taken in "Bush Riding Suit" have just been forwarded. Looks rather bloodthirsty for a parson, eh? The Cutter, or machete is used to cut thro' the bush." The earliest Wesleyan mission began in the West Indies when, in 1786, Thomas Coke, destined for Nova Scotia, was driven off course by a storm and landed at Antigua in the British West Indies. There he developed a successful mission of both slaves and landowners. Within a few years almost every colony in the West Indies had been reached.
