Book excerpt: "The Boxer uprising; the siege of the legations; 55 days in Peking; foreign troops looting China's capital; these are images from books and films over the past 100 years. Now the story is told from the women's point of view, using their previously neglected writings and giving a new dimension. This is the author's fourth book about foreign women and China. It adds to the essential body of women's history and gives a truer picture of what happened a century ago." --

I tell you we are boiling, and long for relief, not only to get out of our (to-day) very tight fix indeed, but also for an awful and just revenge on these unprincipled murderers. At 11.30 came the news that the Nan Tang (S. Cathedral) was on fire, a building 278 years old, and of great historical interest, containing as it did a Memorial Tablet given to the Cathedral by the Emperor Kang Hsi. It was l miles from our Legation towards the tlsuin Chi Men, but for fear of weakening the Legation defence, they dare not send immediate help. Bishop Scott's (except the church and dwellinghouse, which went next day) burnt and looted. At 12.45 Capt. Wray captured a Boxer, and he was put in our cells. He was unarmed, or he would have been shot at once. It was a pity he was'nt, as the boys and Mafus, etc., in the Legation thought he could breathe fire and harm the Legations when bound, and many left. He came out to the North Bridge kowtowing and making idiotic gestures and said he was going to buy food. Two disgraceful Edicts were published condoning the Boxers.'" Another Council of War was held. At 7, the Germans on the Tartar City wall, seeing a meeting of Boxers outside the wall, fired from the wall and killed 10 odd, dispersing the rest. This started the most terrific yelling I have ever heard, you cannot conceive the row, and the yells of "Sha," "Sha" (Kill! Kill!), etc., lasted till 11.30, but the Chien Men and the Ha-ta Men were shut, and they could not get in. The Americans and Russians caught a man setting fire to Legation Street. Two large fires were reported from our south stable picket, where I went up to have a look out. I had just left and got to the Ping Gate, when I heard firing from our north picket. The Boxers had...

Book excerpt: Experiences of battle and hardship in early 20th century China The siege of the foreign legations in Peking in 1900 is a familiar moment in history principally because it joined in common adversity the ministers, citizens and military men of several nations in a defence within exotic surroundings against the Boxers and Imperial Chinese Army. The United States, Japan, Russia, Italy, The Netherlands, France, Great Britain, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Germany and Spain were all involved. The first attempt to relieve the besieged failed and the multi-national garrison was left to its own devices for several weeks. This account of the siege from within, by an American civilian, provides the reader with an invaluable insight into one of the most unusual episodes of modern military history. Available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jacket.

SIEGE OF TBI FOREIGN LEGATIONS AT PEKING SUMMARY OP EVENTS PEIOE TO THE BEGINNING OP JUNE 1900 All through the winter the missionaries throughout North China have persistently been anticipating trouble owing to the continual and unchecked increase in the numbers and power of the I Ho Tuan, an anti-foreign society having for its patrons some of the highest officials in the realm. There had been many cases of attacks on inland missionary stations, and in December an English priest was brutally killed by these people. In this case the murderers were punished, but in the numerous other cases where only Chinese converts were slain no action was taken. The first outbreak directly affecting the foreigners in Peking and.Tientsin took place on May 28th, when a band of Boxers burnt some stations on the Luhan (Belgian) railway line, and the employes had to fly to Peking. The Imperial Chinese railway authorities in Tientsin received the news that the Boxers were marching on fengtai, the junction between the Luhan line and the Peking branch of the Imperial Eailway f North China. They accordingly asked the ientsin Viceroy to send up some troops, but the usual delay was shown, and the next day the station and workshops at Fengtai were burnt, and the foreign ofiicials all up the line had to be called in. The train to Peking, of course, did not get through that day. On the following day 500 Chinese soldiers went up by special train, and for the time being the line was safe. By noon on May 31st some 550 of the foreign troops, which were wired for by the Ministers, had arrived in Tientsin, and 350 left for Peking the same day. I also left for Peking, where I found things fairly quiet, though there had been cases of abuse of foreigners in the streets. The...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diary of the Siege of the Peking Legations: June to August, 1900 The Editors are glad to have the opportunity of making this diary known. Among the handful of Englishmen inside the British Legation was Mr. Meyrick Hewlett, who, we do not think we are wrong in saying, had during his school life here a larger number of friends than anyone else in the School. Through the long anxiety over the fate of the Legations all Harrow boys who knew Mr. Meyrick Hewlett felt that if the worst befell and the Legations were taken, they would have a deep private sorrow, in addition to the general mourning which would have stricken the nation. Happily the siege ended well. The quiet steadfastness and confidence of the men who helped to save the Legations are revealed in the pages that follow. We may leave Mr. Meyrick Hewlett to tell his own story, merely saying that the Diary really took the shape of a long letter home; it was not in any sense written for publication, but as a plain, straightforward narrative by one who went through this most trying siege we believe it will commend itself not only to Mr. Meyrick Hewletts brother Harrovians, but to many others. We may add that it was Mr. Meyrick Hewletts own request that if any part of the diary was published, it should be done by the Editors of his School paper.
