(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Herbert Wolcott Bowen was born in February 29, 1856 in Brooklyn, New York. He was the second son of Henry Chandler Bowen and Lucy M. (Tappan) Bowen.
The elder Bowen was long the editor and owner of the Independent and was prominent in the antislavery campaigns and in his support of Henry Ward Beecher in many of the controversies in which he was involved.
Like his brothers Herbert Bowen was educated at Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute in Brooklyn, New York, but at age sixteen he went to Europe for two years of study in French, German, and Greek. From 1874-1878, he attended Yale College where he was one of the founders of the "Wolf's Head" senior society and a co-founder of the Yale News, the first college newspaper in the country. Although he did not graduate with his class, he was awarded an honorary Master's degree in 1903. In 1881, Herbert received an L. L. B. in law and political science from Columbia Law School.
After studying law at Columbia University, Bowen was admitted to the bar and practised in New York. In 1890, Bowen was appointed consul in Barcelona. Here he served with distinction for nine years. In 1895, his post was made a consulate-generalship and he was promoted so that he might become the first occupant. Bowen's stay in Spain was ended by the outbreak of the Spanish-American War. During the period of hostilities he was frequently called to Washington and his familiarity with Spanish conditions was of service to the Departments of State and of War.
In 1899, he was appointed minister-resident and consul general in Persia where he served acceptably for two years. Toward the end of 1901, he was sent to Venezuela as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary. When he arrived in Caracas, he found in the archives of the legation documents which he considered highly compromising to the good name of the United States and involving the personal integrity of one of his predecessors. These he forwarded to Washington with an explanatory letter, which was acknowledged in a perfunctory manner.
A more insistent letter from Bowen drew from Secretary of State Hay a personal reply which in paternal language advised him not to add to the number of his enemies. Meantime, the seizure of the Venezuelan naval vessels and the blockade of Venezuelan ports by a combined German, British, and Italian squadron to enforce the claims of their nations long ignored, created a crisis. The Dictator, Castro, was at this time facing an internal revolt and believed the naval demonstration designed to aid the cause of his rival.
He at once had hundreds of German, English, and Italian residents herded into the city jail. Bowen remonstrated with the Dictator and by his transparent frankness secured a complete ascendancy over him. On setting out to meet the revolutionists, Castro would have left complete powers in Bowen's hands. Bowen declined to accept unlimited powers, but he secured the liberation of all foreigners.
When Castro returned in triumph after crushing the revolt, Bowen returned to the United States with a commission authorizing him to effect a settlement of foreign claims or to provide for their submission to arbitration. Bowen found President Roosevelt desirous himself to act as arbitrator, but he insisted on carrying the matter to The Hague Tribunal.
During the negotiations that followed, the relations between the President and the envoy were tense and led to mutual recriminations. While Bowen was still in Europe, articles appeared in newspapers alluding to the incriminating documents which he had found in Caracas and submitted to the Department of State. Though Bowen was in no way responsible for these articles, President Roosevelt preferred charges against him and selected Secretary of War W. H. Taft to pass upon them.
As a result, Bowen was dismissed from the diplomatic service with a reprimand in June 1905. He retired to a farm near Woodstock, Connecticut, where he wrote his memoirs, published a few months before his death.
He had published several books of verse and a brief digest of International Law (1896).
Herbert Bowen is best-known as an ambassador to Venezuela, and consul-general in Spain and Persia. Bowen, as a representative of the Venezuela government, discussed the details of refinancing the debt and signed the Washington Protocols in February 1903. This incident was a major driver of the Roosevelt Corollary and the subsequent United States Big Stick policy and Dollar Diplomacy in Latin America.
