Arnold Henry Savage Landor's book 'Corea or Cho-sen: The Land of the Morning Calm' is a fascinating and detailed account of his travels through Korea in the late 19th century. Landor's vivid descriptions and keen observations provide readers with a deep insight into the culture, history, and daily life of the Korean people during this time. His literary style is both informative and engaging, making this book a valuable resource for those interested in Korean studies and travel literature of the period. With its detailed narratives and rich cultural analysis, 'Corea or Cho-sen' stands out as a significant work in the genre of travel writing. Arnold Henry Savage Landor's personal experiences and interactions with the locals undoubtedly influenced the thoroughness and authenticity of his descriptions in this book. His background as an explorer and artist equipped him with the skills necessary to bring Korea to life on the pages of his book. I highly recommend 'Corea or Cho-sen: The Land of the Morning Calm' to readers who are interested in delving into the history and culture of Korea through the eyes of a knowledgeable and perceptive traveler.

This book contends that the long history of America’s interaction with Korea started with the signing of the Treaty of Peace, Amity, Commerce, and Navigation in 1882, and with the establishment of the Seward-Shufeldt Line. William Seward and Robert Shufeldt shared the same vision of achieving their American goal by opening Korea and extending the Seward-Shufeldt Line from Alaska to link it with the Philippines and the Samoan Islands, thus completing a perfect perimeter for the American era of the Pacific and for its dominance in the Asian market. Initiating diplomatic and trading relations with Korea was Commodore Shufeldt’s finishing touch on the plan for achieving American hegemony in the coming 20th century. In turn, the decline of Chinese sphere of influence over the Korean Peninsula and the fall of Russian power in the region, with the consequential rise of Japanese power there, which led to a change from the SS Line to the Roosevelts’ Theodore-Franklin Line, the colonization of Korea, the division of Korea, the Korean War, and has brought America back nearly full circle to that first encounter in Pyeongyang; the regrettable General Sherman Incident in 1866. This book argues that the United States must uphold its early commitment to peace and amity by now normalizing relations with North Korea in order to bring closure to the “Korean Question.”
