Among the Burmans: A Record of Fifteen Years of Work and its Fruitage

About the author
Henry Park Cochrane (1856–1943) is best known for Among the Burmans: A Record of Fifteen Years of Work and its Fruitage, published in 1904. Library and public-domain records identify him as the author of that book and place his life dates at 1856–1943.
Archival records describe him as Rev. Henry Park Cochrane, D.D., and connect him with missionary work in Toungoo, Burma. His writing grows out of that experience, combining personal observation with descriptions of Burmese society, customs, and religion.
Today, he is mainly remembered through Among the Burmans, which remains available through major library and public-domain collections. I couldn’t confirm a reliable portrait image from the sources I found, so no profile image is included here.
