Rev. George D. Byers, Presbyterian missionary at Kachek, Hainan
island, China, was murdered by bandits in front of his home on June
24, 1924, setting off an extraterritorality incident that involved
American, British, and Chinese government officials ranging from
the local Chinese military commander to the British consul at
Hoihow, Hainan, the Chinese Foreign Minister Wellington Koo, U.S.
Congressmen, Presbyterians in China and the U.S., and friends of
the Byers family. Based on American and British consular archives
and those of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and members of the
Hainan mission, this is the story of how Mrs. Byers and her ally,
Mrs. Mabel Roys, the sole woman on the Presbyterian Board of
Foreign Missions (BFM), successfully got the government and their
church to take action. Kathleen L. Lodwick is a Professor of
History at the Pennsylvania State University, Lehigh Valley.
