Robert H. Pruyn: An Albany Yankee In The Tycoon's Court, Susanna Fessler
Campus Conversations in Standish
Robert H. Pruyn (1815-1882), a "good Dutchman" of Albany, served as the second American foreign minister to Japan, 1861-1865.

This talk will focus on some of the lesser-known details of his experience as revealed in his many personal letters home, held by the Albany Institute of History and Art.
