George Hunter. Apostle of Turkestan.
London. China Inland Mission. 1948. Stock ID #224182 "George Hunter has become a legendary figure, so closely and for so long has he been associated with Central Asia. He became part of it, and the Central Asian picture would be incomplete without him...He was one of the last great pioneer missionaries. It is regrettable that he has not passed on more of the accumulated knowledge which he possessed but his is the honour which he most coveted, not the M.B.E. which the king was graciously pleased to grant him, but that of being a translator of the Scriptures into the language of some remote tribes who otherwise would not yet have had them." - Dustjacket blurb.
