Book Description
Excerpt from Matthew Calbraith Perry: A Typical American Naval Officer Hazard Perry, have been multiplied. No biography of Matthew Calbraith Perry has, until this writing, appeared. In Japan, popular curiosity fed itself on amboyant broadside chromo-pictures, blood-pit novels, and travesties of history, in which Perry was represented either as a murderous swash-buckler or a consumptive-looking and over-decorated European general. It was to satisfy an earnest desire of the Japanese to know more of the man, who so pro foundly in uenced their national history, that this biography was at first undertaken.
