d. 1907
An Anglican missionary in Assam for more than four decades, this writer is remembered for close, respectful work with the Kachari (Bodo) people and for one of the earliest book-length English studies of their society and beliefs. His writing still stands out for its careful observation and unusual interest in local language and folklore.
