The Captive of Nootka: Or the Adventures of John R. Jewett (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the remarkable true story of John R. Jewitt, an English blacksmith who found himself thrust into the perilous world of the Nootka Indians on the North-West coast of America. After the brutal massacre of his shipmates by the natives, John found himself held captive by the Nootka king, Maquina. Through a mix of cunning, resourcefulness, and a touch of luck, John managed to secure his own life and that of his fellow captive, the ship's sail-maker, Thompson. The author provides vivid accounts of the Nootkan culture, detailing their daily life, customs, beliefs, and social structure. This detailed portrait of a distant and often misunderstood indigenous people offers insight into a world far removed from the reader's own. As the narrative unfolds, the reader becomes privy to the intricate interplay between survival, cultural clashes, and the human condition. The book's detailed and firsthand account of the Nootka, their society, and their interactions with the Western world provides a unique and valuable perspective on the tumultuous period of early European contact with indigenous peoples in North America.
