Mary Porter Gamewell and the Siege of Peking: an American Lady's Experiences of the Boxer Uprising, China, 1900 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780857061386)

Under siege in imperial China

Mary Gamewell was a missionary of the Methodist Episcopal Church in China. This riveting account of a good woman continuing her vocational work despite every adversity will absorb those interested Women missionaries, the China of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the turbulent time of the Boxers. Gamewell was already an 'old China' hand by 1900. She had experienced the Chungking Riot of 1886 and knew well the dangers which could beset Europeans in her position. Her view of the siege of Peking itself will interest any student of the subject. Available in soft cover or hard back with dust jacket.
