Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides the first in-depth examination of the life and career of Asa King, a Maine blacksmith appointed United States Consul to Zululand in the late 19th century. Despite Asa's humble origins and lack of diplomatic experience, he proved to be a capable and effective representative of his country, serving in this post for over a decade. Drawing upon extensive research, the author explores the historical context of Asa's appointment, the challenges he faced as a consul in a foreign land, and the impact of his experiences on his personal life. The book also examines the broader themes of American imperialism, race, and cross-cultural exchange during this period. Through its rich portrayal of Asa King and his remarkable story, this book offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of American history and the complexities of intercultural relations.
