Much of what has been written on the life of Henrietta Hall Shuck, the first American female missionary to China, functions as little more than hagiography.

This paper seeks to examine the life of Henrietta Hall Shuck through the lens of emotion, with particular respect to her "emotionology." This term, coined by Peter and Carol Stearns, comprises "the attitudes or standards that a society, or a definable group within a society, maintains toward basic emotions and their appropriate expression." (4) When Henrietta became a missionary, not only did she leave behind her family and friends, but she also left behind the society in which her emotionology-her system of emotional dispositions-was formed.

Building upon Guthman's work, this paper offers an analysis of the development of an antebellum Baptist missionary emotionology through the life of Henrietta Hall Shuck. I show that Henrietta's life was equally riddled with emotions of doubt and regret, yet her emotions materialized as she questioned her decision to become a missionary.

While in Richmond, Henrietta also met Jehu Lewis Shuck, who was studying at what would become Richmond College.

Shuck's emotions, it should be known, she had been long and anxiously expecting letters from her friends in America." (41) The reception of these letters was more complicated though.

(54) While more work may be done, Ann and Sarah Judson help position Henrietta Shuck as part of a larger missionary culture that was beginning to negotiate these feelings.

"Peculiar Feelings" and the Life of Henrietta Hall Shuck

When dodgy foreign governments claim to be holding free and fair elections, aw shucks, Jimmy is there, monitors the process, making sure the ballots are counted fairly.

And when there's difficult situations like Americans held in North Korea, well, aw shucks, what leader in Pyongyang can resist some apple pie and sweet tea diplomacy?

Jimmy Carter's more than just a nice guy

Mrs Shuck claimed there were clear inconsistencies in Mrs Loveridge's account of how the new will came into existence.

'In court she said that once written out, the will remained at all times at Mr Lamb's bedside for him to alter or tear up if he so wished,' added Mrs Shuck.
