Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Noted regional author Jo Ann Roe has written the definitive biography of Ranald MacDonald (1824-94), an Old Oregon Country resident who entered forbidden Japan in 1848 at great risk of death and certain imprisonment. MacDonald was the son of a Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) official and his Indi…an wife from the Chinook tribe. In the 1830s, as a youngster at the HBC's Ft. Vancouver and Red River schools, MacDonald became fascinated with stories about the little-known Japanese. This interest, no doubt, was stimulated by reports in 1833-34 of storm-swept Japanese sailors shipwrecked on the Olympic Peninsula and captured by Indians, but later released to HBC officials.Consequently, in 1848, 24-year-old MacDonald arranged with the captain of an American whaling ship to be cast off in a rowboat on the northern Japanese coast. Interned but escaping execution, MacDonald was ordered to teach English to Japanese students. After nearly a year in captivity, he received permission to leave Japan in 1849 with other American sailors stranded on the forbidden coast. Later, several of MacDonald's Japanese students interpreted for Commodore Perry when the U.S. Navy forced a not entirely unwilling Japan to open its doors to outsiders in the 1850s.MacDonald next traveled over much of Asia, Europe, and Canada, before returning to the Pacific Northwest in 1858, where he resided for the rest of his life, but not without adventure. MacDonald joined a daring exploration of Vancouver Island, and became involved in other developments in the Pacific Northwest region. Today, his grave in northeast Washington is recognized as a state park heritage site. In Japan on Rishiri Island, Japanese historical enthusiasts have erected a monument and interpretive marker to commemorate the site where the brave Oregonian landed. Ranald MacDonald, a solitary venturer, entered secretive Japan in 1848, risking certain imprisonment, if not death, in the closed kingdom. Born at Astoria on the banks of the Columbia River, MacDonald (1824-94) was the son of a high-ranking Chinook woman and a Hudson's Bay Company official. He became fascinated with stories about the little-known Japanese while a youngster at the HBC's Ft. Vancouver and Red River schools. In 1848, 24-year-old MacDonald arranged with the captain of an American whaling ship to be cast off in a rowboat on the cold, northern Japanese coast. Interned but escaping execution, MacDonald was sent by high-ranking Japanese officials to more populous parts of the country and ordered to teach English to Japanese translators. After nearly a year in captivity, he was released along with a small group of other American sailors stranded on the forbidden coast. In the 1850s, several of MacDonald's Japanese interpreters served in key roles when Commodore Perry of the U.S. Navy forced a not entirely unwilling Japan to open its doors to the outside world. MacDonald's wandering spirit led him throughout Asia, Australia, Europe, and eastern Canada, before returning to the Pacific Northwest in 1858, where he lived for the rest of his life, but not without further adventures. He joined a difficult exploration of Vancouver Island, and, for many years, participated in the gold excitement of Canada's Fraser and Cariboo districts.

Softcover. Condición: Fine. Leichte Rillen / Abschürfungen / Risse / Knicke. Noted regional author Jo Ann Roe has crafted the definitive biography of Ranald MacDonald (1824-94), an Old Oregon Country resident who risked death and imprisonment by entering forbidden Japan in 1848. The son of a Hudson's Bay Company official and a C…hinook Indian woman, MacDonald developed a fascination with Japan during his youth at HBC's Ft. Vancouver and Red River schools. His interest was piqued by reports of shipwrecked Japanese sailors in the 1830s, leading him to arrange for his own landing on Japan's northern coast in 1848. After being captured and spared execution, he was ordered to teach English to Japanese students. Following nearly a year in captivity, he was permitted to leave Japan in 1849 with other American sailors. Notably, several of his former students later interpreted for Commodore Perry when the U.S. Navy pressured Japan to open its doors in the 1850s. MacDonald journeyed extensively across Asia, Europe, and Canada before settling in the Pacific Northwest in 1858, where he engaged in various adventures, including an exploration of Vancouver Island. His grave in northeast Washington is now a state park heritage site, while a monument on Rishiri Island in Japan commemorates his historic landing.
