''A United States Midshipman in China'' is a historical memoir written by Yates Stirling Jr. in 1909. The book is a first-hand account of Stirling’s experiences as a midshipman in the United States Navy during his voyage to China in the late 19th century. Stirling describes his journey from San Francisco to China, where he and his fellow midshipmen were stationed in the port cities of Hong Kong and Shanghai. He provides detailed descriptions of the customs and culture of the Chinese people, as well as the political and social climate of the country at the time. Throughout the book, Stirling shares his personal experiences and observations, including his interactions with Chinese officials and merchants, his visits to temples and other cultural landmarks, and his participation in naval exercises and operations. The book offers a unique perspective on the history of China and the United States during a pivotal time in their relationship. It also provides insight into the life of a midshipman in the U.S. Navy during the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
