Description

John Mahelm Berry Sill served as the American Minister to Korea (1894-1897) during an extremely turbulent period of Korean history. This book uses the personal correspondence between the Sills in Korea and their family in the United States to portray candidly life in not only the American contingent in Seoul, but also the Russian legation. The letters also provide evidence of the rumours and speculation that plagued the daily lives of Westerners in Seoul.
