A United States Midshipman in China is a book written by Yates Stirling Jr. and originally published in 1909. The book is a memoir of Stirling's experiences as a midshipman in the United States Navy during the late 19th century, specifically his time spent in China. Stirling provides a detailed account of his travels, interactions with locals, and observations of Chinese culture and customs. He also writes about his encounters with other foreign powers, such as the British and Japanese, and their respective influences on China. Throughout the book, Stirling offers insights into the political and social climate of China during this time period, including the Boxer Rebellion and the aftermath of the Opium Wars. A United States Midshipman in China is a fascinating firsthand account of a pivotal moment in Chinese history, as seen through the eyes of an American naval officer.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
