Inside the Hermit Kingdom: The 1884 Korea Travel Journal of George Clayton Foulk
George Clayton Foulk
Based on a diary detailing a 900-mile journey by sedan chair through southern Korea in the 1880s—written by one of the few Westerners at the time who could speak Korean—Inside the Hermit Kingdom is an account like no other. It gives readers a rare glimpse of the kingdom of Choson in its pristine condition, before the intrusion of the outside world.
