Carpenter wrote for the syndicates and had a genius for the concrete detail. This is the American Pacific in the 1920s: the Philippine provinces, the hemp and the sugar, the schools, the Moro country, the Hawaiian plantations and the immigrant labour that ran them. Reporting for readers in Ohio who had suddenly acquired an empire and had no clear idea what was in it.
