The Widow's Quest: The Byers Extraterritorial Case in Hainan, China, 1924-1925

Lodwick (history, Pennsylvania State U.) tells how Reverend George Byers, a missionary in China, was killed in a botched kidnapping in June 1924, but her main story is how his widow Clara spent years trying to get the US government to invoke provisions of its treaty with China and bring the killers to justice.
