Not surprising. Seen some letters he sent, and its also heavy gospel stuff. Im not particularily fond of this habit these people had batptizing kids either. (The Kunming church was burned down in the early 20th Century, maybe the heavy gospel was one reason?)
Some other people, such as Fitzgerald who was up in Dali, seem to have obtained some more practical information from Fraser, though.
But in one way or another one much also respect the guy. Going up to that particular Lisu area during that time, was more or less equivalent with comitting suicide.
Theres a more interesting missionary though: Samuel Pollard. Got his diary, excellent stuff. Pretty heavy stuff going on around Zhaotong a hundred years ago. Wild tigers picking up kids and such. Highly recommended reading.
