brown c w/gilt decs/lettering; lite wear at spine/tips; in mylar protective wraps; Originally apprenticed to a barber, Fox became a soldier in the militia (as a substitute for his employer), was discharged, and later signed aboard a 20-gun ship, the Protector, used to protect American shipping and to annoy the British. In his second cruise, he was captured by the British and put aboard the prison ship Jersey. Conditions on this prison ship were intolerable, and Fox was forced to "join the British." He was sent to Jamaica, where he ultimately escaped by sea to Cuba, eventually returning to Boston in May 1783. Sabin 25344; Kaplan 2003; Gephart 13373; 240 pages.
