The book tells the story of William Scott Ament, an American missionary who dedicated his life to evangelizing and improving the lives of Chinese people. Ament arrived in China in 1877 as a young man and spent over 40 years in the country, working tirelessly to spread the gospel and establish schools, hospitals, and other institutions to aid the Chinese people.The book covers Ament's early life and education, his decision to become a missionary, and his work in China. It describes his efforts to learn the Chinese language, his interactions with local people, and his struggles to adapt to the challenging living conditions in China. The book also explores Ament's role in the Boxer Rebellion of 1900, during which he and other missionaries were targeted by Chinese rebels.Throughout the book, Porter portrays Ament as a deeply committed and compassionate individual who was willing to sacrifice his own comfort and safety to help others. The book also provides insight into the cultural and political climate of China during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as the challenges faced by American missionaries working in the country during that time.Overall, William Scott Ament: Missionary Of The American Board To China is a fascinating and inspiring account of one man's dedication to his faith and his mission, and his impact on the people and culture of China.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
