Book excerpt: Travel account by Peter Corney, first lieutenant on the schooner Columbia, which was fitted out by a consortium of English firms to conduct a trade in furs between China and the Northwest coast of America. The voyage lasted four years, during which time Corney was an eye-witness to the burning and sacking of Monterey. He writes also of the Russian settlements in America, the abortive Russian settlement on Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands, the relations between the Americans and the Russians, and the means and problems of trading with China. The ship itself was, in the end, purchased by King Kamehameha I of Hawaii.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Voyages in the Northern Pacific: Narrative of Several Trading Voyages From 1813 to 1818, Between the Northwest Coast of America, the Hawaiian Islands and China, With a Description of the Russian Establishments on the North-West Coast The following narrative by Mr. Peter Corney is now published in a separate form for the first time. As may be seen, it was first published serially in a weekly literary magazine in London, during the 3 ear 1821. It seems to have been entirely over looked by the historians of the North-west Coast of America as well as by those of the Hawaiian Islands. It even escaped the researches of the indefatigable H. H. Bancroft and of Robt. Greenhow, the historian of Oregon. The author was once well known in Honolulu, and has a number of descendants living here. He died in 1836, on board of the bark Columbia while on his way to what is now called British Columbia, where he was to occupy a responsible position in the service of the Hudson's Bay Company. In consequence of his death his wife and children decided to remain in Honolulu, instead of continuing their voyage to the North-west Coast. His narrative is a valuable contribution to the history not only of the North-west Coast, but also of the Hawaiian Islands.

Excerpt: ... two inches long, an inch broad, and half an inch thick; this drags the lip down, and leaves the gums and teeth quite bare, and gives them a most disgusting appearance. Both men and women chew tobacco, of which the women in particular are very fond. Some of the natives in Chatham Straits squeeze their heads into a sugar-loaf shape, by means of binding it round with kelp or sea weed when they are young. They also use paint, and powder their hair with the down of geese or swans. They wear the hair long, but, on the death of a chief, cut it short round the head. They have their noses perforated with a large quill. The natives here are great warriors, and very hostile to the Russians, whom they often annoy by attacking their bodarkees; however, they do not always kill them, but are satisfied with running a spear through them and leaving them to their fate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No list of voyages to Hawaii has appeared in book form since the interesting group of Hawaiian bibliography was published in the 1860s. It has been worthwhile to reexamine this subject of voyages to Hawaii, although a complete enumeration of the vessels has not been attempted in the present publication. This edition is primarily an enlargement rather than a revised version of Miss Judd’s original book.
Download or read book Macao and U S China Relations written by Yufan Hao and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2010-12-22 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of essays, edited by Jianwei Wang and Yufan Hao, the contributor's explore the driving factors that lie behind Macau's increased visibility, including: the rapid economic development and growth, the 'one country, two system' administration under which they operate, the influx of foreign investment, and the role of Macau in China's foreign policy, especially as it relates to the United States. Macau underwent tremendous growth in various spheres during its evolution from a minor colonial power into a global player with increasing influence on the world stage. Their enhanced international profile is largely a result of their economic and political development over the 20th century, culminating with their handover to China in 1999. With more than 60 countries that have established consular services in Macau, and their membership in several international organizations — WTO, UNESDO, and the World Tourism Organization) — Macau continues to play an important role in the Eastern hemisphere. Macau's entrance into the world market improved their reputation in East Asia and led to spectacular economic growth, but it also attracted foreign investment, especially from the United States, that changed the cultural landscape. American influence has grown steadily in Macau, and with their increased exposure to international economics and politics, Macau's role as a buffer between China and United States is increasingly important. Macau and U.S.-Chinese Relations uses a local perspective to analyze the complicated relationship between these two world superpowers and Chinese foreign policy as a whole.
