More about the book

Excerpt from Fifty Years in China: An Eventful Memoir, Tarleton Perry Crawford, D. D I esteem it both an honor and a privilege to write a preface to this book. While the book is prepared as a memoir of Dr. Crawford it will necessarily also set forth, to a large extent, the life and work of Mrs. Crawford, because they were not only one by God's law of matrimony, but for half a century their lives were so interwoven in labors and sorrows, hopes and joys, that it is im possible to entirely separate them in any account of their life work. During the last decade of the fifty years they labored together in China, it was the writer's privilege to be associated with them almost as a son with parents, and it is a joy to still be associated with Mrs. Crawford in the work.
