Slight fading of spine and spine edge of book is only defect; Glossy pictorial paper covered boards. Extensive presentation inscription on the occasion of a 50th anniversary reunion of the alumni of St. John's Medical School. Inscribed by Martha McCracken Howard, one of Josiah McCracken's daughters.; 276 pages; Joe was an All-American football star and a medal winner in the shot put and the hammer throw in the 1900 Olympics.

Taken together, they become the story of a large, close-knit missionary family in China during the turbulent years of 1907-1941.…
