Summary "Siam and Laos, as Seen by Our American Missionaries" by Mary Backus is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book compiles experiences and observations from various American missionaries who lived and worked in Siam (now Thailand) and Laos, detailing their interactions with local cultures and societies. Through personal accounts and commentary, it aims to shed light on the lives of the people and the significant impact the missionaries had on education, health, and social practices. The opening of the work sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the Indo-Chinese Peninsula, highlighting the geographical features and cultural dynamics of the region. The preface emphasizes the contributions of American missionaries in shaping aspects of life in Siam and Laos, including education, medical practice, and the introduction of Western technologies. The text begins with an overview of the physical landscape, trade routes, and social intricacies, painting a vivid picture of the environment the missionaries operated in, before delving into specific experiences and observations from their journeys.
