Description

Start your Yale-China-related book collection or enhance it with three-book set!. First is Drama at the Doctor's Gate: The Story of Dr. Edward Hume of Yale-in-China (1961), in which Dr. Hume's wife, Lotta Carswell Hume, recounts the story of Dr. Hume's experiences founding the Yale-China hospital and medical school in Changsha. Next is Dauntless Adventurer: The Story of Dr. Winston Pettus (1952), written by Dr. Hume about Dr. Pettus's heroic work at Xiangya Hospital during World War II. (Both of these books are used and in good condition.) Finally, Alice Tisdale Hobart's Oil for the Lamps of China is a bestselling 1934 novel based on her experiences living in Changsha in connection with the Standard Oil Company.
