Summary: "Samuel Reynolds House of Siam, Pioneer Medical Missionary, 1847-1876" by George Haws Feltus is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life and work of Dr. Samuel Reynolds House, highlighting his contributions as a medical missionary in Siam during a time of significant cultural and social change. The narrative explores themes of faith, dedication, and the challenges faced by missionaries in their efforts to improve healthcare and spread Christianity in foreign lands. The opening of the book establishes the context for Dr. House's arrival in Bangkok, where he swiftly enters into medical practice amidst a society grappling with issues like slavery and gambling. He quickly learns of the dire conditions and needs of the local population, as exemplified in an early case involving a self-mutilated servant. The text describes the primitive circumstances in which he operates—a floating house that serves as a makeshift clinic—and his deep commitment to providing care regardless of social status. This foundation sets the stage for the challenges Dr. House faces, both medically and culturally, as he navigates his role in a foreign land marked by strong traditions and beliefs.
