To honor the example of a beloved cousin who had died in mission work in China, in the late 1880's Anna Seward decided to travel there as a Presbyterian missionary. She settled in Huangxian in North China, where she met and married a Southern Baptist Missionary, Cicero Washington Pruitt. This book is the account of the history of the Southern Baptist Missionary efforts in North China from 1860 until the time of her and her husband's retirement as missionaries in 1938.
