Smyrna, a 250000 population center in the Ottoman empire, blends Christian and Muslim life amid bazaars and the Bund. The city, long called the faithful city, hosts Greek priests and mosques, ships from all nations, and major exports like Smyrna figs and licorice while American missions and schools struggle through wartime disruption.
