From the Estate of the late Dr. Harvey
J. Howard - Author of the book - 10 weeks with the Chinese
Bandits
During Dr. Howard’s tenure at Peking, China he was kidnapped by
Manchurian bandits in 1926 and held for $100,000 ransom. He was held
for ten weeks
and despite the gang’s threats, Dr. Howard escaped largely due
to Dr. Howard’s ability to speak fluent Chinese and by treating
the kidnappers’
medical ailments. Upon his release, Dr. Howard wrote Ten Weeks
with Chinese Bandits, an accounting of his adventures during his
captivity.
The book was translated into seven languages and went through
eight printings.
