Peking Dust is a memoir written by Ellen N. LaMotte, an American nurse who worked in China during the early 20th century. The book chronicles her experiences in Peking (now known as Beijing) during the Boxer Rebellion, a violent anti-foreigner movement that took place in 1900. LaMotte describes the chaos and destruction she witnessed, as well as the bravery and resilience of the Chinese people she worked with. She also reflects on the cultural differences she encountered and the challenges she faced as a foreigner in China. The book provides a unique perspective on a pivotal moment in Chinese history and offers insight into the experiences of Westerners living in China at the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
