Following The Sun-Flag: A Vain Pursuit Through Manchuria is a travelogue written by John Fox Jr. in 1905. The book chronicles Fox’s journey through the northeastern region of China known as Manchuria during the Russo-Japanese War. Fox sets out to explore the region and report on the war, but he quickly finds himself caught up in the chaos and danger of the conflict.Throughout the book, Fox provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, people, and cultures he encounters on his journey. He also offers insights into the political and military situation in Manchuria at the time, as well as his own thoughts and feelings about the war.Despite his initial enthusiasm for the adventure, Fox becomes increasingly disillusioned with his journey as he witnesses the brutality and devastation of the war. He ultimately concludes that his pursuit of the story was ''vain'' and that the true cost of the conflict was too high for any journalist to justify.Following The Sun-Flag is a compelling and insightful account of a pivotal moment in Chinese and world history. It offers readers a unique perspective on the Russo-Japanese War and the complex cultural and political landscape of Manchuria in the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world’s literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
