Book Description Hardbound. First. Dark blue cloth boards w/ white pictorial DJ, [x] 130pp, 10 BW plates. From the jacket--This biography is the first to be based on the enormous cache of DesBarres papers acquired by the Public Archives of Canada a decade ago. With these the public records have been extensively used, together with the papers of such major British public figures as the Earls of Chatham and Dartmouth. The author has borne in mind his own initial difficulties with technical problems in such areas as hydographic history and land tenure regulations and accordingly taken pain to write of them in a manner intelligible to the nonspecialist. DesBarres is a fascinating figure and his careers will appeal to a wide variety of readers. VG, DJ is lightly soiled and has wear around the edges; very minor tears. Seller Inventory # 126611

Book Description Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First. ix, 130pp., index, biblio., ill., notes. Some yellowing and wear to DJ. "J.F.W. DesBarres was an unusual eighteenth-century figure whose life spanned two continents and over a hundred years. He was in public life, in a variety of careers, for some six decades. What we know of him as a private person suggests a rambunctious character of considerable and diverse talents. Unfortunately, the bulk of the available papers stem from his public careers rather than his private life, but they reveal a great deal about his activities as a military officer, chartmaker, landowner, and civil governor. Much of his work was done in North America, in particular in the Maritime Provinces of Canada." Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Book. Seller Inventory # 005407
