Thru Oriental Gates by a Wandering Eyewitness
A dated travel tale by an amateur observer recounts Japan and Harbin with humor and critique. It notes Japan’s modern ascent, 1923 earthquake impact, aviation limits, American baseball grip, bank practices, dentistry quirks, and the Geisha trade, then surveys Harbin as a ruined former capital in Manchuria with refugees and stark poverty.

Walter T. Brown notes only two families produced more than one US president, the Adamses and Harrisons. Franklin D Roosevelt would join that group if elected, tracing lineage to Theodore Roosevelt who was a fifth cousin. The Roosevelts descend from Class Martenzen Van Rosevelt who founded the family in America in 1844 arriving from Holland in New Amsterdam. Isaac Roosevelt, James Roosevelt and Franklin’s father James laid a strong Hudson Valley presence with land, wealth, and railroad ties, shaping the family’s political prominence.
