America in the East: A Glance at Our History, Prospects, Problems, and Duties in the Pacific Ocean

William Elliot Griffis

4/5 ( ratings)

Excerpt from America in the East: A Glance at Our History, Prospects, Problems, and Duties in the Pacific Ocean

Called to face new duties, from which they do not propose to flinch, the American people want facts for guidance. History gives the surest ground for prophecy. I have tried to look our problems in the face, and to Show our past in the Pacific.

Four years' residence in the Far East, from 1870 to 1874, nourished and increased an interest in the Asian peoples, which I may call hereditary, because it sprang from a line of seafaring ancestors, English and American.
