For anybody who is interested, here's a couple of short biographies on line-
the first url is the biography that they're plagiarizing from each other all
over, the second gives more details in the description on the book Amazon
has for sale on the topic.

>From one of the sites, there is also this on titles of other sources on Will
Adams.

See his letters (ed. by T. Randall, 1850) and his logbook (ed. by C. J.
Purnell, 1916); biography by G. Milton (2003); R. Cocks, Diary (1964); and
H. H. Gowen, Five Foreigners in Japan (1936, repr. 1967).

 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
