要約、抄録、注釈等 "Deeply researched and briskly written, this first-ever biography of Scidmore draws heavily on her own writings to follow major events of a helf-century as seen through the eyes of a remarkable woman who was far ahead of her time"-- rom back cover.,"Born on the American frontier just before the Civil War, Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore (1856-1928) grew from modest beginnings to become one of the most celebrated women of her day as a far-roaming travel writer who brought the world alive for readers back home. She popularized Alaska tourism, and educated Americans about Japan and the wider Far East at a time of expanding interest in people and places across the Pacific. In her best-known legacy she carried home a big idea that helped shape the face of modern Washington by pushing-for nearly thirty years-the planting of Japanese cherry trees in Potomac Park. Scidmore was a female "Forrest Gump" who rubbed elbows with many famous people and bore witness to important events in the dynamic period from the Gilded Age to World War I. At the early National Geographic, she made a lasting mark as the first woman to serve on its board and to publish photographs in the magazine. She was active in the burgeoning U.S. conservation movement in association with John Muir and others. Her published work includes books on Alaska, Japan, Java, China, and India; hundreds of articles in U.S. newspapers and magazines; and a novel based on the Russo-Japanese War. This deeply researched biography, which draws heavily on Scidmore's published work and letters, reveals for the first time the story of a historically important but long-overlooked woman whose life offers a fascinating lens through which to view U.S. and Asian history"-- Provided by publisher.
