Japanese culture made its mark on the American Impressionist Art Colony in Cos Cob. Genjiro Yeto -an unassuming Japanese artist who studied at the Arts Students League of New York and spent time at the Cos Cob art colony- was the topic of conversation.
A gathering of Greenwich society people was held in a private home off North Street in 1919. The featured speaker was Dr. George Vincent, president of the Rockefeller Foundation, who had just returned from China. World War I had ended, but problems were plenty. To the people of Greenwich it was 'Shandong For China' -and resulting sentiments in Greenwich favored the return of that Chinese province to China. Read here about the role the Chinese played in the First World War.
We'll cast our gaze to the islands of Hawaii where Horton Owen Knapp of Round Hill journeyed to in 1837 as a missionary, meeting his calling and his passing at age 32.
