Shewbury's journal and letters provide insight into the motivations and labours of the pioneer missionary who in 1827 established Butterworth, the first mission station in the Transkei. They describe his struggles with language difficulties, physical and emotional hardships, and his difficulty relating to Xhosa culture.
