Sam Pollard (Paperback)


Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Samuel Pollard (20 April 1864 in Camelford, Cornwall - 16 September 1915 in China) was a British Methodist missionary to China with the China Inland Mission who converted many of the Big Flowery Miao (closely related to the Hmong) in Guizhou to Christianity, and who created a writing system that is still in use today. Born the son of a Bible Christian Church preacher, Sam Pollard initially aimed for a career in the civil service. However, a conference in London in 1885 encouraged him to instead become a missionary. He was appointed a missionary in 1886, left the United Kingdom for China in 1887, and was posted to Yunnan province in 1888. He remained in China, as a missionary, until his death from typhoid.
