''A Year in China: And a Narrative of Capture and Imprisonment, When Homeward Bound, on Board the Rebel Pirate Florida'' is a memoir written by Martha Noyes Williams in 1864. The book is divided into two parts. The first part describes the author’s experiences during her year-long stay in China, where she accompanied her husband, who was a missionary. She provides a detailed account of Chinese culture, customs, and daily life, as well as her observations on the country’s political and social systems.The second part of the book narrates the author’s capture and imprisonment on board the Confederate pirate ship, Florida, while she was on her way back to the United States. Williams describes her experiences as a captive, including the harsh conditions she endured, the interactions she had with her fellow prisoners, and her eventual release.Overall, ''A Year in China'' is an insightful and engaging memoir that offers readers a unique perspective on life in China during the mid-19th century, as well as a firsthand account of the Civil War-era piracy on the high seas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
