Descripción
Sumario:With Commodore Perry to Japan offers a personable account of Commodore Perry's expedition to Japan through the eyes of a sixteen-year-old purser's clerk of the Mississippi. The National Historic Publications & Records Commission (NHPRC) -endorsed documentary edition provides excellent coverage of both the political mission of the Perry expedition - the opening of relations with Japan - and of the social history of a naval warship as well. Speiden kept entries on a regular basis, although not always daily, and he filled more than three hundred, closely written pages dating from 9 March 1852 to.
