James Willard Schultz's book "Bird Woman: Sacagawea's Own Story", first published in 1918, is an adventurous account on Sacagawea's life story, mainly her heroic role in the Lewis and Clark expedition. The novel is filled with great feats and amazing records of that moment in time, all based on a real-life story. However, there are a couple of factors that might naturally affect the book's reliability. The stories told by Schultz were passed down in the common Native American tradition of oral storytelling; in this case, Schultz learned them from Earth Woman who, as a child in the early 1800s, heard these stories being told by Sacagawea in her father's lodge. The passing of time and the oral telling and re-telling of the stories can naturally disrupt many of the details, altering the original historical facts. Another factor to be considered when speaking of the book's reliability is to evalute how much of the story got "lost in translation" - that is, how each storyteller's individual perspective changed the story, as well as how the translation of it from one language to another affected the original meaning.
I won't go into too much details but the Asian country that defeated Russia in war, namely the Russo-Japanese war(1904-05) was Japan.
It was a conflict based on good military strategy. It all started because Japan wanted Korea as a province but Russia did not allow that to happen so Japan tried to negotiate to get Korea in exchange that Russia could keep Manchuria but Russia refused and negotiations broke down so Japan thought of an alternative...war.
Japan knew that Russia had a massive army but Japan had a very mobile and well trained army so they used that to their advantage. So the Japanese fleet open fired on the Russia Eastern Fleet in Port Arthur which eventually got destroyed. As Russia suffered humiliating defeats, the country thought it could beat Japan but Japans strategy proved superior so they defeated Russia in many battles. So in order to prevent a total "defeat", Russia asked for Peace (U.S as the middleman)which gave Japan some of what it wanted but not all. This caused both countries to be dissatisfied...
