Yesterdays in the Philippines
by Joseph Earle Stevens
About the author
Born in 1870, he is identified by Wikisource as an American merchant and rancher, and library records connect him with the 1898 book Yesterdays in the Philippines. That book presents him as a former resident of Manila writing from personal experience.
His work blends travel writing and social observation, describing the Philippines at the end of the nineteenth century. Modern library and ebook records show that Yesterdays in the Philippines remained the work most closely associated with his name and has been preserved by institutions including the Library of Congress and Project Gutenberg.
Reliable online sources located for this profile did not provide a confirmed portrait image of him, so no author photo is included here.
