“…A daughter of Commander Herndon became the wife of Chester A. Arthur, who was aftereward president of the United States. See also Junqueira (2007). 49 Herndon's statements about the negro slaves may be explained by the following paragraph of Bell's (1939) paper: "Two ideas lay behind the exploration of the Amazon River by Lieutenant William Lewis Herndon and Passed Midshipman Lardner Gibbon, of the United States Navy, in 1851 and 1852.…”

From Macao he jouneyed successively to Hong Kong and Canton; from Canton to the Island of Formosa, where he spent six or eight months making journeys among the savages of the interior. While there, he found manuscripts preserved among the aborigines, which he concluded to be relics of the Dutch mission established there two hundred and fifty years before. From Formosa he went, via Hong Kong and Canton, to the Philippine Islands, and spent ten months there; he visited several places never before visited by naturalists, and found forty new specimens of birds, which are now in the Collection of the University. He contracted in those islands the malignant fever so prevalent there; but found time to make large collections of insects and shells, corals, etc. From the Philippines he went to Singapore, thence to Malacca, and made a trip through the Dutch Moluccas, touching at several places in the islands of Java, Macassar, Amboina and Ternate; at the latter place he ascended the volcano of that name. In the Moluccas he made a large collection of the birds-of-paradise. From these islands he returned to Singapore, and from there, via Suez Canal and the Mediterranean, to Marseilles, stopping at Naples. He went through France by rail and via London and Liverpool went home, after an absence of little more than three years. This was in 1875.An account of this great expedition and other further expeditions made by Steere was published by Frederick M. Gaige in 1932 (Michigan Alumnus 38(18):344-346, 352-353, and in The Ark (University of Michigan Museum of Zoology) 10(5):2-7), based on a collection of 96 letters written by Steere during his voyages and travels and published in the Peninsular Courier and Family Visitant, a weekly magazine edited at Ann Arbor, during the years 1870 to 1875.

Resumo: O artigo discute os interesses dos sulistas dos Estados Unidos na América do Sul, através do estudo da expedição do navio a vapor Water Witch realizada pelo comandante da U.S. Navy, Thomas Jefferson Page, pelo rio da Prata e adjacentes. Com poderes para realizar trabalhos científicos na região e diplomáticos para negociar em favor da livre navegação dos rios da região, além de estabelecer tratados comerciais, Page obteve consentimentos para a navegação, principalmente por parte do Império do Brasil e da Confederação Argentina. Contudo, entrou em conflito com o governo do Paraguai, originando uma contenda com o presidente do país, Carlos Antonio López, durante a qual o navio de Page foi bombardeado. Em resposta, os Estados Unidos aprovaram uma intervenção ao Paraguai em 1858, enviando para lá uma esquadra que movimentou navios e canhões para restituir acordos comerciais e viabilizar a segunda-e conclusiva-etapa da expedição de Page, realizada entre 1858-60. O artigo pretende mostrar que parte dos objetivos dos norte-americanos foram alcançados na região, ainda que tenha sido necessário fazer o uso da força para que fizessem valer as suas intenções, principalmente, no Paraguai.
