b/w frontis., ills. 12mo. frontis, (vi)-166 pp. Early edition of this work, the first of which was published in Middletown in 1815. Jewitt was an armorer on board the merchant ship Boston which rounded the horn and sailed up the west coast as far as Nootka Sound, where the ship was attacked by Indians and all killed except Jewitt and another crewman. He was eventually rescued by the brig Lydia of Boston, and returned to that port after sailing to China. The details of the adventures of Jewitt were drawn from him by the indefatigable queries of Richard Alsop. The narrative affords us many new and interesting particulars of the life and habits of the most savage of American aborigines.Field 776. Howes A-189, Huntress 181 C. Hill 887. Pages tanned and spotted as usual. Pictorial cover lacks upper corner. Hinges cracked. Only a fair copy of a book that once was fairly common - and now.
