"For China, the 1930's were a decade marked by profound uncertainty and sweeping change. It was in this unstable and dangerous environment that aspiring American author Helen Foster foound herself when she arrived in China in 1931. She spent the next decade working as a writer, an activist, and humanitarian. She is one of the few Western eyewitnesses to the gathering Chinese Communist revolution."
In Suffolk County, England
The Dameron line appears to go back to Suffolk County, England. The following excerpts are about two sites connected with the Dameron name. These are sections from the following book: Copinger, Walter Arthur, 1847-1910, The Manors of Suffolk; notes on their history and devolution, with some illustrations of the old manor houses. London, T. F. Unwin, 1905-11.
