Carl Crow
Carl Crow (1883–1945), attended the Missouri School of Journalism, went to China just before World War I and stayed on to found the first American advertising agency in Shanghai. Crow became one of the key American interpreters of Asia for the reading public back home. Among his popular books were biographies of Confucius and Townsend Harris, the first American envoy to Japan; Handbook for China (1933), a tourist guidebook reprinted in 1983; I Speak for the Chinese (1937), which advocated American defense of Chinese against Japanese military encroachment; and Foreign Devils in the Flowery Kingdom (1940), a history of foreigners in China.
