| 520 | _a"Matthew Calbraith Perry: A Typical American Naval Officer" by William Elliot Griffis is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The biography chronicles the life of Commodore Matthew Perry, focusing particularly on his significant contributions to the United States Navy and his pivotal role in opening Japan to Western trade. The book delves into Perry's early life, his naval career, and the lasting impact of his diplomatic efforts on American history and Japan. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on Perry's notable legacy, emphasizing the widespread recognition and reverence he received for facilitating Japan's entrance into global commerce in 1854. Griffis notes that Perry's remarkable career was shaped by a series of pivotal experiences, from his active participation in the War of 1812 to his influential role in the African slave trade and piracy efforts, as well as his foundational work in developing America's steam navy and naval education. The opening sections establish the context for Perry's life, detailing his childhood, naval training, and the critical attributes that defined him as a typical American naval officer dedicated to both military prowess and diplomatic success.
