Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Korea Review, 1905, Vol. 5 We have received from the publishers the above named volume and have read it with absorbing interest, for it bears not only upon the war in general but it contains a careful account of events in Korea which led up to, if they were not the main cause of, the conflict. After a short but appreciative introduction by Prof. Williams the author in his preface tells us in the following words what the object of the work is: This is an at tempt to present in a verifiable form some of the issues and the historical causes of the war now waged between Russia and japan, and the perusal of the book compels us to admit that the author has held himself down to his text with admirable repression. He has indulged in no passionate appeals for sympathy in the name of his nation nor has be asked the reader to accept any theories or deductions of his own. He has simply set down in a dispassionate and almost neutral manner the causes and issues of the war. We thought at first that if he did no more than this it would be rather stale reading, but we found it fascinating. The lucidity of his style and his luminous collocation of evidence make the book a pleasure to read. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Passing of Korea Much that is contained in this present volume is matter that has come under the writer's personal observation or has been derived directly from Koreans or from Korean works. Some of this matter has already appeared in 7723 Korea Review and elsewhere. The historical survey is a condensation from the writer's History of Korea. This book is a labour of love, undertaken in the days of Korea's distress, with the purpose Of interesting the reading public in a country and a people that have been frequently maligned and sel dom appreciated. They are overshadowed by China on the one hand in respect of numbers, and by Japan on the other in respect Of wit. They are neither good merchants like the one nor good fighters like the other, and yet they are far more like anglo-saxons in temperament than either, and they are by far the pleasantest people in the Far East to live amongst. Their failings are such as follow in the wake Of ignorance everywhere, and the bettering of their Opportunities will bring swift betterment to their condition. For aid in the compilation of this book my thanks are mainly due to a host Of kindly Koreans from every class in society, from the silk-clad yangban to the fettered criminal in prison, from the men who go up the mountains to monasteries to those who go down to the sea in ships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Tragedy of Korea Many of the doings related in this book came under my own purview: some chapters, more par ticularly the description of the scenes in the rebellion of 1907, are direct individual narrative. Wherever possible, I have elected to support my own account and conclusions by the evidence of other witnesses. In the case of the recent rebellion, my readers must rely mainly on my personal observations, as I was, at the time when I made my journey, the only white man to have travelled through those districts during the fighting. I am indebted to many who played a prominent part in the events here recorded for their kind and generous assistance and advice.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth About Korea It is that spirit which, while serving as a soldier in the United States Army, I took an oath to crush and to which end the remainder of my life is dedicated. You who read this volume may feel that the people of Korea and the Orient have no common tie with the people of America and Europe, and that therefore we should not con cern ourselves with their affairs. It is true that they are of a different nationality and a different race. But today, above all nationalities and all races, is a common tie - Justice and Humanity. And it is in the name of Justice and Humanity that I present this volume for your consideration, as a plea for the right of twenty million human beings to enjoy their personal freedom and liberty.

Download or read book The Empire Review 1903 Vol 5 Classic Reprint written by C. Kinloch Cooke and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire Review, 1903, Vol. 5 That feeling of uneasiness with which the German cousin during the last twenty-five years has inspired the English world of trade, by himself conveying his own German goods to market instead Of sending them out to the customers of the world under the flag Of England, will, in course of time, be surmounted; and the annoyance caused to many an Englishman by the sight of the German flag on the ocean on a much larger number of vessels than formerly will disappear. The German cousin has occasionally been as inconvenient to English policy as to English trade. For a long time Germany's traditional leaning towards Russia was looked upon askance; and when Lord Salisbury described the news of the austro-german Alliance in 1879 at Manchester as good tidings of great joy, it was assuredly the outspoken departure from Russia that induced him above all to do so. But as long as Kaiser Wilhelm I. Lived, the disturbance of good relations with Russia was only temporary. This was shown by the interchange of telegrams between Czar and Kaiser after the capitulation of Paris; by the meeting at Alexandrowo by the journey of Alexander II. To Dantzig, and by his triple renewal of an intimate alliance with the German Emperor, the friend of his father.

Download or read book The Renaissance of Korea Classic Reprint written by Joseph Waddington Graves and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Renaissance of Korea This is not the time when sentimental friends of liberty and weeping advocates of oppressed nations are likely to be heard. The world is too full of woe to listen to any tale of far-away wrongs, when the home situation is scarcely tolerable. To be heard at all above the wail of humanity, a special cause must have as its spokesman one who knows whereof he testifies, who can present the case calmly, justly, forcefully and without rancour. He ought, also, to be a person whose horizon is wider than the Korean's, or even that of the Far East, a man with weltanschauung and a mind that comprehends the meaning of world move ments as a great whole. Such a person is the author. A British subject, and so by nationality one of Japan's allies, he has seen with his own eyes in Japan and Korea what that Ally is doing, and' he knows what the underlying objectives are. He also knows from personal and firsthand sources what actually occurred in Korea last year. History has supplied him with the foundation in early and later centuries upon which modern Korea has been built. 'when the present writer recalls the many hundreds of pages of manuscript personally examined, detailing the true story of the fateful year of 1919, not to speak of what he has read of the earlier outbreak of 19] I, he marvels at the temperate tone of the chapters relating to events of last year. The Christian spirit of Captain Graves and his judicial mind have made him give to the public a calm, dis passionate statement of the entire case in its historical setting and its tragical outcome.

But, in this utilitarian age of ours, isn't it worth while to look at things sentiment ally, once in a way, if only for variety We have conferred the greatest practical blessings upon Asia; that I admit and maintain. But we have blurred the picture a bit, and I can't help being sorry. Only one country in Asia has, until lately, entirely escaped the blight and the blessing of our civilizing touch - Korea! Korea has not seemed worth our shot and powder. And many of us have not really known that there was such a place as Korea. But the war that is raging in farther Asia now has quickened our interest in the quaint kingdom of the morning calm.

Download or read book The Golden Mountain written by Easurk Emsen Charr and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charr tells eloquently of his difficulties in becoming a naturalized citizen, even after serving in the army, of his sergeant's encouragement of his quest for citizenship, his return to San Francisco and a job in a cousin's barbershop during the Depression, and of the American Legion's help when his Korean-born wife was threatened with deportation proceedings after her student visa expired. After becoming a naturalized citizen, Charr took the civil service examination and, for the remainder of his working life, was employed by the U.S. government, first in Nevada and then in Portland, Oregon. The introduction and annotations by Wayne Patterson provide a broader perspective on both Charr and the Korean immigrant experience.

Download or read book The Ilse written by Wayne Patterson and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 13, 1903, the first Korean immigrants arrived in Hawai'i. Numbering a little more than a hundred individuals, this group represented the initial wave of organized Korean immigration to Hawai'i. Over the next two and a half years, nearly 7,500 Koreans would make the long journey eastward across the Pacific. Most were single men contracted to augment (and, in many cases, to offset) the large numbers of existing Chinese and Japanese plantation workers. Although much has been written about early Chinese and Japanese laborers in Hawai'i, until now no comprehensive work had been published on first-generation Korean immigrants, the ilse. Making extensive use of primary source material from Korea, Japan, the continental U.S., and Hawai'i, Wayne Patterson weaves a compelling social history of the Korean experience in Hawai'i from 1903 to 1973 as seen primarily through the eyes of the ilse. Japanese surveillance records, student journals, and U.S. intelligence reports--many of which were uncovered by the author--provide an "inner history" of the Korean community. Chapter topics include plantation labor, Christian mission work, the move from the plantation to the city, picture prides, relations with the Japanese government, interaction with other ethnic groups, intergenerational conflict, the World War II experience, and the postwar years. The Ilse is an impressive and much-needed contribution to Korean American and Hawai'i history and significantly advances our knowledge of the East Asian immigrant experience in the United States.
