Eventually the captain adopts Manjiro and takes him to his home in New England. The boy lives there for some time and then heads to San Francisco to pan for gold. After many years, he makes it back to Japan, only to be imprisoned as an outsider. With his hard-won knowledge of the West, Manjiro is in a unique position to persuade the emperor to ease open the boundaries around Japan; he may even achieve his unlikely dream of becoming a samurai."-Amazon760LAccelerated Reader AR- Subjects: Nakahama, Manjirō, 1827-1898.; International relations.; Japanese.; Samurai.; Whaling.;
