Captain McLane Tilton, USMC “10,000,000 Savages” in the first Incheon Landing
May 16, 1871
My deal Nannie, We are really on our way to Korea. …. , our mission being a peaceful one, and for the purpose only of exacting a reasonable promise from the Korean Govt. that seamen wrecked on their coast may be treated humanely. We have no knowledge of the country, and only very unreliable information in regard to the coast. …. But you may imagine it is with not great pleasure I anticipate landing with the small force we have,
against a populous country containing 10,000,000 of savages
. (Sterner, 2002, p.14)Slide8
Captain McLane Tilton, USMC:
Choseon’s
Isolationism
May 26, 1871
My dear Nannie,
…. When our boats are sailing about & meet native boats, the latter always change their course,
not appearing to desire any communication
; and upon our boats landing on the beach, they get in theirs. (Sterner, 2002, p.16)Slide9
Captain McLane Tilton, USMC: No Victory and want to Go Home
June 21st, 1871
My dearest Nannie,
I am glad to say I am alive still and kicking, although at one time I never expected to see my Wife and baby any more, and if it hadn’t been that the
Coreans
cant (sic) shoot true, I never should. It is all over now, and as I expected,
we have failed to make any treaty with the
Coreans
. …. As for me I am quite satisfied, ‘I have not lost no
Coreans
’, and ‘I
ain’t
alooking
for none neither’—
I want to go home
! (Sterner, 2002, p.30)Slide10
Admiral Rogers: Whether [US Govt] to engage or not in Korea
“…. It now remains with the Government to determine what further steps, if any, shall be taken toward requiring from
Corea
those engagements which it was our purpose in visiting the coast to obtain if we might.” (Sterner, 2002, p. 34)Slide11

James Michener, “The Forgotten Heroes of Korea,”
Saturday Evening Post
, May 10 1952
Even those of us who know better forget that today, in the barren waste of Korea, American men are dying with a heroism never surpassed in our history. Because they are so few, we forget that they contribute so much.” Slide17
