The book, published in 1896, was written by Digby M. Berry, a friend of the sisters who compiled their writings after their deaths. The memoir details the sisters' experiences as they traveled to China to spread Christianity and work as teachers in the remote town of Ku Cheng. They faced many challenges in their work, including language barriers, cultural differences, and opposition from the local authorities. Despite these obstacles, the sisters remained committed to their mission and continued to work tirelessly to help the people of Ku Cheng.Tragically, both sisters were killed during the Boxer Rebellion, a violent anti-foreigner uprising in China. The book includes letters written by the sisters in the months leading up to their deaths, providing a personal and poignant insight into their lives and the events that led to their martyrdom.Overall, The Sister Martyrs of Ku Cheng is a fascinating and inspiring account of two courageous women who dedicated their lives to helping others and spreading their faith, even in the face of great danger.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
