(94) War of the Roses
(94) War of the Roses
When the United States established its legation in Seoul one of the first projects undertaken by Minister Lucius Foote’s wife, Rose, was landscaping the compound. It was a daunting task — not so much because of the size of the compound but because of what or who was buried in it.

One of the most remarkable tomes of Korean history is the “Samguk Yusa.” It is filled with many remarkable accounts that interweave exaggerations with facts leaving us with a historical record made up of legends and tall tales.

(91) Baekje's portents of doom
Prophecies and portents of the end of the world are found throughout history and Korea was no exception. One such example was the Kingdom of Baekje (18 B.C.-A.D. 660).

(90) Dining with emperor
During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was not uncommon for important Western visitors to Korea, such as naval officers, diplomats, businessmen and missionaries, to receive audiences with King Gjong. Some of these audiences even involved dinners at the palace.

(89) Start of Sino-Japanese War
(89) Start of Sino-Japanese War
As the 19th century closed, Joseon (1392-1910) increasingly found itself in the center of intrigue and conflict — some of it of its own making. In the summer of 1894, insurrection and unrest ruled the Korean countryside — especially in the southern provinces. The government, unable to put the unrest down by itself, invited Chinese assistance. A large force of Chin...

(88) Harry’s Hotel
Probably the first hotels catering to and established by foreigners in Korea were in the Japanese settlement in Fusan (modern Busan) in the early 1880s.

(87) American Constable Daniel Coleman
In the late 19th century more and more Westerners — especially Americans — began to flock to Korea for employment at the large gold mines in the north, the Seoul-Jemulpo Railroad and the Electric Company in Seoul.

(86) Strong-arm tactics for gold
At the end of the 19th century there was a literal gold rush in Korea — especially after the Americans were able to obtain a large concession in northern Korea (the Unsan Gold Mines) operated by the Oriental Consolidated Mining Company.

(85) Costs of foreign advisors
Following the opening of Korea to the West in 1882, the Korean government hired a number of Westerners to serve as advisors. Many of these advisors were very well paid and probably elicited great jealousy from their Korean peers. But how well paid were they?
