"A Visit to the Himalaya Mountains" vol. 1, 1911-1912
Scope and Content note
This volume describes the first half of Jenkin's trip with her relative to visit her cousin Samuel Stokes Jr., who was serving as a missionary in the Himalayan Mountains of India. Entries describe the voyage from New York City to Bombay, and the stops in Madeira, Gibraltar, and Algiers, Algeria and Port Said, Egypt. Upon Jenkins' arrival in Bombay, her entries describe her travel to Kotgarh through the Himalayan region, where Samuel Stokes Jr.'s missionary school was located. During her time in Kotgarh, Jenkins describes events at the mission school, her interactions with the members of the community there, particularly with the children. A large portion of her time in Kotgarh is dedicated to visiting Samuel's Indian fiance, a recent Christian convert of the mission who is referred to as Agnes, and many of her entries describe her visits to Agnes.
