Synopsis
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.

This "roof of the world" may well be called the "Crown of Asia," as her greatest rivers, like the Hoang Ho and Yangtse Kiang of China, the Irrawadi of Burma, the Brahmaputra, Ganges, and Indus of India, rise there to flow down and water vast countries. Here in this great table land ranging from 10,000 to 14,000 feet above the sea, rules the Grand Lama, "sea of wisdom," temporal and spiritual pope. Shut in by an encircling parapet of mighty mountains fringed with the birch and cedar, he and his followers, a very interesting people, wish to be left to their fancied wisdom. No wonder that missionary aspiration turning to the few remaining fields, seeks to seize this mysterious "crown" land, this home of the mahatmas, "great spirits," and plant it among the many crowns on Jesus' brow. Early in the 18th century Jesuit missionaries penetrated to the heart of the country, and effected a lodgment in Lhassa, the capital.
