Description
""The Story of Chinese Gordon"" is a biographical work by Alfred Egmont Hake, first published in 1884. The book tells the story of Charles George Gordon, a British army officer who played a significant role in the history of China and Sudan in the late 19th century. Gordon was sent to China in 1860, where he served as a diplomat and helped to suppress the Taiping Rebellion. He later became governor of the Sudan, where he worked to abolish slavery and improve the lives of the local people. The book follows Gordon's life from his childhood in England to his death at the hands of the Mahdi's forces in Khartoum in 1885. It explores his military career, his religious beliefs, and his relationships with other notable figures of the time, such as General Charles ""Chinese"" Gordon and the Mahdi. ""The Story of Chinese Gordon"" is a compelling account of a remarkable man who made a significant impact on the world. It provides insight into the political and social climate of the time, as well as the challenges faced by those who sought to bring about change.With Additions, Bringing Down The Narrative To The Present Time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
