| Summary | "Among the Burmans: A Record of Fifteen Years of Work and its Fruitage" by Henry Park Cochrane is a mission-focused account written in the early 20th century. The work shares the author's experiences and observations during his time as a missionary in Burma, highlighting various aspects of life, culture, and religion among the Burmese people. It offers a blend of personal anecdotes, cultural insights, and a documentation of missionary efforts aimed at understanding and influencing the indigenous population. The opening of this narrative details the arrival of the author and his wife in Rangoon, where they are met with a tumultuous but warm welcome from both fellow missionaries and locals. The couple experiences a mix of awe and uncertainty as they navigate their new environment, which is filled with unfamiliar sights, sounds, and customs. Initial challenges include grappling with the tropical climate, understanding local customs, and the realization that effective communication would require mastering the Burmese language. This early section sets the tone for the book, emphasizing the blend of excitement, challenges, and the commitment to their missionary work among the diverse communities in Burma.
