Odd phrase in "Former System of Government"

This line, at the end of the Former System of Government section seems to violate neutral POV:

This was just before John Williams, whose name is a shining light in the annals of missionary enterprise, visited Samoa for the first time. A bloody war ensued and A'ana's power was broken and the district laid waste.

I'm assuming that this is taken verbatim from the footnoted source. If so, at the very least it should be indicated as a quotation. But even then, this reads like a hagiography of this "John Williams", and a very slanted view of a historic event.208.163.133.252 (talk) 18:18, 22 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
