Among the Bhotiyas and Their Neighbors (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Among the Bhotiyas and Their Neighbors
Mr. F. B. Shaw, in writing of the siege of speaks of two missionary columns being pushed forward, one from the West by the Moravian missionaries, and another from the South by Miss Annie Taylor, with whom the Alliance Mission of America is seeking to cooperate. The London Missionary Society's tentative work from Almora is incidentally mentioned, but the writer seems entirely ignorant of a party who are driving a mine into Tibet farther East near the border of Nepal, also a closed land.
In the year 1895, Miss M. A. Sheldon, M.D., and later Miss E. Browne, of the Methodist Mission, with a small band of native workers, occupied Darchula, far up in the Himalayas, as a base from which to drive their mine and ultimately reach the Tibetans. Their immediate work is with the Bhotiyas, mentioned in this little book, who trade with the Tibetans and through whom at last, if in no other way, the gospel must filter into the closed land.
