4.0 out of 5 stars John Manjiro Story, January 29, 2000
By Lloyd L Breckenridge (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews
This is a very well documented history of the story of John Manjiro the first Japanese to live in United States and Captain Whitfield who rescued him from an island in the Pacific and was his mentor. The story is fasinating! This 14 year old fisherman who was illiterate in Japanese learned English and navigation in Fairhaven Mass. in the 1840's and traveled around the world twice before returning to Japan when he was 24 where he was the prime source of information about the western world for the Japanese authorities. The book is well documented and well written, but does give a little to much detail about the modern connections between Fairhaven and Japan. Still a fasinating true story.
