This photograph shows Samuel Evans Stokes with his wife Agnes and their child.
The key details about Stokes are:
Stokes moved to India in 1904 to work with a leper mission in the Shimla hills.
He married a local Rajput-Christian woman, Agnes, in 1912, and they had seven children.
He adopted Indian customs, learned Sanskrit, converted to Hinduism (taking the name Satyananda), and wore Khadi clothing.
He was the only American to be imprisoned by the British for participating in India's independence struggle.
He is credited with introducing American Red Delicious apples to the Himachal Pradesh region, which transformed the local economy.
Some stories are not about where you are born,
but about where you belong.
