Book excerpt: Excerpt from Korea and Her Neighbours, Vol. 2: A Narrative of Travel, With an Account of the Vicissitudes and Position of the Country Fortified as to my project by the cort approval of the Governor, the courtesy Of the Telegraph Department, and the Singular splendour of the weather, I left Wladivostok by a red sunrise in a small steamer, which accomplished the 60 miles to Possiet Bay in seven hours, landing us in a deep inlet of clear water and white sand, soon to be closed by ice, at the foot Of low and absolutely barren hills fringing off into sandy knolls, where Koreans with their ox-carts awaited the steamer. A well-spread tea-table at the house of the Russian postmaster was very welcome. Such a strong-looking family I had seldom seen, but afterwards I found that size and strength are characteristic of the Russian settlers in Primorsk.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Forbidden Land: Voyages to the Corea With an Account of Its Geography, History, Productions, and Commercial Capabilities, &C, &C Notwithstanding the great pains the author has taken to render his account of the Corea in all respects as complete as possible, no one can be more alive to the many faults and shortcomings which this book still contains. On the other hand, he has been painfully careful to avoid the flight of fiction and imagination so often met with in works of travel, or to write and describe nothing but what he has personally seen and experienced, or knows from undoubted authority to be positively true.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen J. Hiemstra (Phd) chronicles his early life, schooling, military service, and service in the federal government.

What people are saying... His role in the evolution of USDA's programs that now feed millions of Americans should not be understated. There is much more to learn and enjoy in this very readable journey of a very productive life. - John E. Lee, Jr., Retired Administrator and Professor Emeritus As we learned from Dr. Stephen J. Hiemstra, life is a journey where we travel from moment to moment, from research to education, from government to university, from discovery to discovery. - Hailin Qu, Professor, Oklahoma State University Dr. Hiemstra was a brilliant thinker, problem solver, patient with those who didn't have his intellect, and a man of God. He was a statesman, leader, and, more importantly, my friend. - Dr. Carl A. Boger Jr., Professor, University of Houston
Download or read book Fifteen Years Among the Top Knots written by L. . H Underwood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-03 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fifteen Years Among the Top-Knots: Or Life in Korea IT may be said at once, that Mrs. Underwood's narra tive of her experience of Fifteen Years Among the Top Knots constitutes a book of no ordinary interest. There is no danger that any reader having even a moderate sympathy with the work of missions in the far East will be disappointed in the perusal. The writer does not undertake to give a comprehensive account of missions in Korea, or even of the one mission which she represents, but only of the things which she has seen and experienced. There is something naive and attractive in the way in which she takes her readers into her confidence while she tells her story, as trustfully as if she were only writing to a few relatives and friends. Necessarily she deals very largely with her own work, and that of her husband, as of that she is best qualified to speak. Everywhere, how ever, there are generous and appreciative references to the heroic labors of associate missionaries. Nor does she confine these tributes to members of her own mission. Some of her highest encomiums are given to members of other missions, who have laboured and died for the Gos pel and the cause of humanity in Korea.

Download or read book Korea and the Sacred White Mountain written by A. E. J. Cavendish and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Korea and the Sacred White Mountain: Being a Brief Account of a Journey in Korea in 1891, Together With an Account of an Ascent of the White Mountain The following narrative of the way in which a few weeks' leave was spent in Korea in I 89 I does not pretend to any literary merit or to be a detailed account of that little-known country; it is simply an amplification of my diary during that time. It was at first intended that Captain goold-adams, RA and I should jointly publish the accounts of our journeys, but as he is still in the Far East, the collaboration had to be abandoned. However, Chapter viii. Is a short narrative of his ascent of the White Mountain, in which, for reasons given in my story, I was unable to accompany him. Unfortunately his map, and notes of his observations for position during his solitary journey, were lost by a friend to whom he lent them. My thanks are due to Mr. C. W. Campbell, of the Chinese Consular Service, for kindly allowing me to make use of some of the photographs which he took during his journey to the White Mountain in 1889; also to Mr. Hillier and Mr. Brazier for their photographs.

Download or read book From Job to Job Around the World Classic Reprint written by Alfred C. B. Fletcher and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Job to Job, Around the World The pages that follow are an account of a three year trip I made around the world, starting from San Francisco with only a five-dollar gold piece and earning my way. My wanderings took me to Hawaii, Japan, Korea, China, the Philippines, Cey lon, India, Egypt, Palestine, Turkey, Europe, Eng land, Norway, Spitzbergen, Sweden, and finally across the Atlantic to America. I think the book covers a new field in travel narrative in that it shows that it is possible to work one's way around the world and do so with a considerable degree of comfort. In most instances I held good positions, met the rep resentative people of each country and travelled in moderate style. I, of course, had numerous hard ships and adventures, which I relate.

Download or read book A Young Soldier s Memoirs My One Year Growing Up in 1965 Korea written by Julio A. Martinez and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-11-18 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pages of this book vividly conjure up the sights and smells and sounds of Martinez’s adventures in Korea. He enthusiastically spent every free moment traveling everywhere, taking hundreds of photographs, teaching himself to speak, read, and write the language. Nothing escaped his youthful eyes, from ancient temples to rice planting and harvesting to little known facets of the country’s rich 5,000 year old culture. His exuberance with each of his discoveries is faithfully recorded, as are the familiar things we all felt—homesickness and fear, camaraderie and purpose. If you want to see the Korea of forty-five years ago through the bright eyes of a nineteen-year old soldier from Texas with a truly remarkable memory for every detail, this is the best way to do it.—William Roskey, Author of MUFFLED SHOTS: A Year on the DMZ

Download or read book A Journey Around the World Classic Reprint written by Edwin S. George and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Journey Around the World No one, however intelligent, could begin to tell the story of the countries and people referred to in this volume. This book sets forth the impressions made upon the author by the glimpses obtained in a journey around the world, and it must be remembered that im pressions can honestly differ among truthful, observing, studious travelers. This diary was written at the request of a loved one who was unable to accompany me, and with whom I thus hoped, in a small degree, to share my daily experiences, but with no thought of publication. Its publication is due far more to the encouraging suggestions of friends, than from any confident promptings of my own. The author claims no qualifications whatsoever as a writer, but endeavored at all times to keep his mind free from prejudices, and alert to everything about him, and espe cially endeavored to see the good in all things, but frank in his statements of facts as observed and noted herein. It was not, however, until we were bound for the Orient and had reached strange lands, inhabited by strange people, with strange customs, that I was aroused to any serious effort in the writing of a daily narrative in which I endeavored to reflect the conditions surrounding the writer, for examme: India, depressing; China, smiles; Korea, tragic; Japan, attractive but imperialistic.

This book was released on 2024-06-10 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Origin of the 1960s Korean Developmental Regime: Manchurian Modern, Suk-Jung Han traces the current Korean dynamism through Manchukuo, the Japanese puppet state in northeast China from 1932 to 1945, which has been frozen as the sacrosanct stage of nationalist resistance. Han proposes the factor of colonial diffusion in the lineage of East Asian state-formation, which has been overlooked in the discussion of the modern state-building. He also traces the cultural flow from the Manchurian setting, which contained the seed of the future cultural prowess of Korea.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I went to Seoul for the summer, I never expected to meet him. I only wished for one thing then: to be able to take a solo trip to South Korea before I move to Japan for good. I wanted to explore the markets in Hongdae, the Han River in Gangnam, the Gyeongbokgung palace—literally all of the spots where my favorite dramas were shot. But when our eyes met, I immediately knew. It was the right place. It was the right time. I was about to spend my vacation with the right guy. It just hurt to know that it wasn't meant to last forever.
