Condition: Very Good IMPORTANCE & BACKGROUND A biographical account of the lives of five Hawaiian youths who would come to form a core of initial students enrolled at the new Foreign Mission School established at Cornwall Connecticut in 1816. The vivid accounts of Captain Cook's and others explorers' voyages to the Sandwich Islands Hawaii and other Pacific islands generated interest in the U.S. to properly educative Hawaiians in both academic and Christian teachings. The school formed under the direction of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions ABCFM would serve to educate foreign students in preparation for missionary work in their native lands and elsewhere. A Narrative of Five Youth from the Sandwich Islands was the first of many publications intended to raise funds and stir up popular support for the new school as well as for the first Christian mission sent to the Hawaiian Islands three years later. The publications were a great success leading to the significant funding and public support critical to early efforts to fold Hawaii within the cultural and commercial influence of the United States. BOOK INFO Published in 1816 in New York by J. Seymour under the direction of ".agents appointed to establish a school for heathen youth" e.g. American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. First edition first printing. Bound in modern 1/4 green niger morocco with gilt spine lettering over finely woven green cloth backed boards. Refreshed endpapers. Thin Octavo 8 1/2" x 5 1/8". Collated and complete: 3 4-44 p. ABOUT THE WORK & HISTORICAL CONTEXT By the early 1800s Hawaii had become a key aspect of America's growing trade with China. It was a critical resupply port for American ships on the trade route to China and a lucrative source for sandalwood. American merchants saw commercial possibilities that could be expanded. Protestant missionaries saw heathens in need of salvation via Christian conversion. This is a biographical account of and strong bit of fundraising propaganda on how five Hawaiian youths were saved from their heathen ways and savage pasts through a civilized education and Christian conversion. While the backgrounds of the youth vary - one was the son of a chief and another the survivor of brutal inter-tribal warfare for example-- the stories of these five youths share a number of common elements. All had spent time as sailors on American trade ships. Three had served at sea in the War of 1812. Most had experienced periods of extreme hardship after reaching New England. All found sponsors teachers and spiritual guides who helped them on their path to converting to Protestantism. CONDITION INFO The book is Good to Very Good by early 19th century American imprint standards. Binding is tight. Leather is supple. Areas of dust and light soiling to cloth. Lightly toned pages overall with light foxing. Some abrasion to paper along gutter margins of first few pages. Browning to first and last page with some brittleness and chipping.

Slight loosening at the head of the first few leaves where binding cords are exposed. A few smudges marginal paper nicks and other signs of light handling. . J.

THIS IS A GREAT AND STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL HAND-PAINTED SCROLL THE SUBJECT: Kato Kiyomasa 1562-1611 was the son of Kiyotada a relative of Hideyoshi Toyotomi and served him and distinguished himself as one of the seven most famous warriors of that time by his heroic acts at the Battle of Shizugadatake. . During the invasion of Korea he followed Yukinaga Konishi -1600 to Pusan and on to Seoul in 1592 where he fought so fiercely that the Koreans named him "Devil Kiyomasa." Yukinaga was a Christian warrior & retainer of Hideie Ukita and was appointed Lord of Settsu by Hideyoshi Toyotomi. . Hideyoshi appointed these two to spearhead the Korean invasion with Yukinaga the commander. The plan was to launch waves of army corps by ship across the 56 mile wide Tsushima straits to Pusan. Some 300000 fighting men a truly serious force embarked. The first force of 9200 Samurai armed with matchlocks bows and swords set out. Upon landing they rapidly advanced North up the peninsula taking out Korean castles and subduing the regions through power of force. They advanced to Seoul as the armies divided into two parts each racing to see who would enter Seoul first. . At Cho-ryung pass they united then both advanced on Seoul & took the castle as the Korean King and his entourage fled over the river at Imjin where the Koreans up their valiant effort to check the Japanese. This is a most magnificent painting of both Kiyomasa and Yukinaga as each holds a Naginada while the Korean King prepares to rides a black steed effecting his escape while being protected by a retainer who also holds an elaborate Naganada with the Imperial banner.
