Abbot L Dow 1880, and
the story of Alleppey
Difficult to believe, right? But that was indeed the case. An
early US representation in India did exist for a while at Alleppey, and this started
first with the appointment of a commercial agent stationed there and his office
was later upgraded to a consulate. The consular officer was one Mr Abbot L. Dow.
