Journalist and travel writer Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore (1856–1928) was the first woman on the board of the National Geographic Society and conceived the idea of planting Japanese cherry trees in Washington, DC. Her brother George Hawthorne Scidmore, a diplomat who served in the Far East from 1884 to 1922, facilitated Eliza's frequent travels.
Dust jacket is now housed in a clear, removable archival protector.
