Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Henry Williams (Nottingham, England 11 February 1792 Pakaraka, Bay of Islands, New Zealand 16 July 1867) was one of the first missionaries who went to Aotearoa, New Zealand in the first half of the 19th century. He was named the sea-warrior . He entered the navy at the age of fourteen and served in the Napoleonic Wars. He went to New Zealand in 1823 as a missionary. His M ori name was Te Wiremu Karuwha (Williams Four-eyes. Henry wore spectacles). His younger brother William Williams was also a missionary in New Zealand. William was the scholar- surgeon . Although Henry Williams was not the first missionary in New Zealand Thomas Kendall, John Gare Butler, John King and William Hall having come before him he was the first to make the mission a success, partly because the others had opened up the way, but largely because he was the only man brave enough, stubborn enough, and strong enough to keep going, no matter what the dangers, and no matter what enemies he made .
