St. George and the Chinese Dragon is a historical account of the relief of the Pekin legations during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900. The book is written by Henry Bathurst Vaughan, who was an officer of the British contingent involved in the relief mission. The story follows the British troops as they journey to Pekin to rescue the foreign legations that were under siege by Boxer rebels. The book provides a detailed account of the battles and events that took place during the mission, as well as the political and social context of the time. The title of the book refers to the British soldiers being likened to the legendary figure of St. George, who slayed the dragon, in their efforts to rescue the legations. The book is a valuable historical resource for anyone interested in the Boxer Rebellion or British military history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
