Here is a neat sketch. It's of one of the main characters and the daughter of an American mining engineer working in a gold-rich region northeast of Pyongyang--now part of North Korea.
Like the two previous Yankee in the Land of the Morning Calm historic novels, the book follows the life and adventures of an American in Korea during the late 19th and early 20th century.
Each book includes a number of sketches, which highlight the key events and characters. Considerable effort has been made to provide an accurate snapshot of Korea during this time of westernization, modernization, and colonialism.
