Journeys of Missionaries in Asia From Waterloo to Canton
Mission workers from Grange township traveled toward India stopping at Canton. Miss Martha Shick, a former Black Hawk county resident, aided by Miss Sadie Miller and others, details a voyage through Yokohama and Kamakura, noting influenza, temple life, Kamakura Buddha, Kyoto temples, and Kobe harbor. The narrative covers Shanghai, Hong Kong, Canton, and Cantonian life, with reflections on Chinese customs, missionary work, and the Shick family's ongoing efforts in South China.
