About
"Captain Glenn F. Howell kept a detailed account of his activities in China for 62 years. The resulting 202 volumes constitute an outstanding primary source on military service in China during the tumultuous period between two world wars.". "This work presents Howell's diary during his command of the naval gunboat USS Palos on the Yangtze River from June 6, 1920, to September 23, 1921. Howell covers a range of topics, including the Chinese people, important locales (e.g., the Three Gorges), the opium trade, and the presence of missionaries and other foreigners in China.". "Editor Dennis L. Noble provides a biography of Howell, an overview of Chinese history from 1800 to 1920, and a history of the United States military involvement in China during those years, along with comments on the context and significance of the diary entries."--BOOK JACKET.
