Milligan is a memoir of personal experiences written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and culture of African tribes, particularly focusing on the author's observations during his seven years as a missionary in West Africa. Milligan aims to portray the human side of the African people, highlighting their joys, struggles, and daily lives, as well as critique the misconceptions held by outsiders.  The opening of the memoir sets the scene for Milligan’s departure to Africa, reflecting on the misconceptions surrounding missionary work and the romanticized views of danger and adventure. He shares anecdotes from when he prepared for his journey and reveals the practical realities of travel in Africa, including the challenges of shipboard life and the astringent circumstances faced by travelers along the West African coast. Through his candid reflections and humorous observations, Milligan's intent to depict the African people as relatable and complex individuals rather than mere subjects of pity or fascination begins to emerge, laying the groundwork for deeper explorations of their culture and beliefs throughout the memoir.
