Geil was an American author and Evangelist. He embarked on a Great World Wide Tour to survey the state of missionary work throughout the world, beginning in 1901, and wrote a number of books on his travels. His tour took him through the Pacific islands, to Japan and China, and across equatorial Africa. During his China leg he traveled the entire 2,500 kilometer-long Ming section of the Great Wall of China, and was likely the first American to do so. (Inventory #: 70233)
