James Gilmour went to China for the London Missionary Society in 1870 and spent two decades travelling among the Mongols, living in their tents and learning their language. Richard Lovett arranges Gilmour’s own diaries, letters and reports into the story of his life: his education, his apprenticeship on the plains, his marriage and his campaigns of preaching and medicine.
A vivid first-hand picture of Mongolia and of a famously hardy missionary, from the author of Among the Mongols. Download the free EPUB.
