Philip Fugh’s life and family's meshed with modern Chinese history and John Leighton Stuart including the Nationalist Revolution in 1920s, the Japanese War in China, and Mao Zedong’s revolution. As a young student, Philip Fugh became a personal assistant to John Leighton Stuart, President of Yenching University and U.S. Ambassador to China. The letters we uncovered in Claremont among Pettus, Stuart, and Fugh show a remarkable story of loyalty and commitment throughout several turbulent periods in China.
