Rev. Kennedy had landed in Calcutta on 19 January 1839, en route to Benares, where he had been appointed for doing missionary work. From 1868 to 1877, he was posted in Kumaon, where the Mission did some pioneering work including opening of schools, female education, building a leper’s asylum, sanitation work, etc. The amount of information it contains, descriptive, social, evangelistic missions and even political aspect, is astounding.
