With Commodore Perry to Japan offers a personal account of
Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry’s expedition to Japan through
the eyes of a sixteen-year-old purser’s clerk of the USS
Mississippi. The documentary edition, endorsed by the National
Historic Publications & Records Commission, provides excellent
coverage of both the political mission of the Perry expedition, the
opening of relations with Japan, and of the social history of a
naval warship as well. Also included are fifty-five illustrations
ranging from hand drawn, pen-and-ink scenes of everyday life
sketched by Speiden and other members of the crew to exquisitely
colored and detailed pith paintings by Chinese artists.
