Matthew Calbraith Perry: A Typical American Naval Officer (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Matthew Calbraith Perry: A Typical American Naval Officer
Among the earliest memories of a childhood spent near the now vanished Philadelphia Navy Yard, are the return home of the marines and sailors from the Mexican war, the launch of the noble steam frigate Susqurkanna, the salutes from the store-ship Princeton, and the exhibit of the art treasures brought home by the United States Ex~ pedition to Japan - all associated with the life of Commodore M. C. Perry. Years afterwards. On the shores of that bay made historic by his diplomacy, I heard the name of Perry spoken with reverence and enthusiasm. The younger men of Japan, with faces flushed with new ideas of the Meiji era, called him the moral liberator of their nation. Many and eager were the questions asked concern ing his career, and especially his personal history.
