During the last third of the nineteenth century the governments of China, Korea, in Japan employed thousands of Westerners, many of whom were Americans, to serve as technical, educational, military, and diplomatic advisers. This study focuses on a four-year. In the career of one such advisor,Owen Nickerson Denny. An American from the Pacific coast state of Oregon, Denny search from 1886 to 1890 as vice-president of the. Home Ministry and Director of Foreign Affairs. Earlier, he had served as United States console at Tientsin, China (1877 - 1880), and as counsel general at Shanghai (1880 - 1883). Although Denny was not a diplomat of major prominence, and examination of his brief but controversial service in Korea provides us with the number of valuable insights into the development of American-East Asian relations in the late nineteenth century. --- excerpt from book's Introduction
