I have been a few months reading the messages in the list, but I am yet 
virgin in the net, probable because spanish is my mother tongue.

Any way, proffesor Amstrong, I am also impressed by the work of Harold Cook. 
I bought his book during my stay in Korea last year and, after reading 
another books related to this period, I have found a couple of datails about 
the protagonist, Mr Townsend, Mr. Cook could add to his book if he reedit 
his work some day. The clue is in Korean Review. By the way, I am also 
investigating (in the long term) about one of the people he mention in his 
book, an spanish woman, Amalia Amador, who arrived to Korea in the first 
1880s and was married to a chinesse diplomat, Woo Li-tang (who accomplained 
the first korean diplomatic mission to EEUU). Should anybody know something 
about this lady, I would be extremelly grateful.
