Dedicated to the missionaries who have given their lives to the evangelization of Cuba and Porto Rico. "In both islands the breaking away from the oppressive government of Spain was accompanied by a breaking away from the not less oppressive ecclesiastical rule of the Romish Church. Religious liberty was not less welcome to the people than civil liberty. The new order opened the door wide for the American Protestant missionaries, and they entered at once the new fields. The purpose of this volume is to familiarize our people with the past and present of the islands, and to show what has been accomplished and what it is hope to accomplish through the missionary agencies sustained by American Protestants." - Preface.
