"Lights And Shadows Of Our Cruise" recounts a voyage aboard the U.S. Frigate "Tennessee," flagship of the Asiatic Fleet, during the years 1875-1878. Written by George R. Willis, this narrative provides a firsthand account of life at sea and travels through Asia in the late 19th century. The book offers insights into naval operations, shipboard routines, and the cultural encounters experienced by American sailors during their deployment.

Willis vividly describes the ports visited, the people encountered, and the challenges faced by the crew. With a blend of personal anecdotes and historical observations, "Lights And Shadows Of Our Cruise" captures the spirit of adventure and the complexities of international relations in a rapidly changing world. This volume is a valuable resource for historians, naval enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the maritime history of the United States and its interactions with Asia.
