520 _a"Yesterdays in the Philippines" by Joseph Earle Stevens is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences as an ex-resident of Manila, capturing the cultural, social, and economic nuances of life in the Philippines during his time. It covers the author's transition from America to the islands, detailing various aspects of Filipino life, customs, and the author's personal reflections on the beauty and challenges of the archipelago. At the start of the narrative, the author describes his journey from the U.S. to Hong Kong and then onward to Manila, reflecting on the shift from what he calls "God’s Country." He shares first impressions of Manila's landscape, architecture, and the unique environment that greets him upon arrival. The chapters lead into the daily life and activities in Manila, including social gatherings at the English Club, local traditions, and local customs like shopping. The vivid descriptions and candid observations provide insight into the complexities and allure of Manila, along with the author's encounters with both the native population and other expatriates, setting the tone for the cultural exploration that unfolds in the following sections of the book.
