Unlike many of his countrymen, Capt. Lauchlan Bellingham Mackinnon liked the U.S. and its citizens, and his account of his travels there from late 1850 through 1851 are largely favorable. Arriving in New York, he went south to Washington, of which he gives a long description, then sailed north to Boston. From there he went west to Buffalo and Detroit, across Michigan, through Chicago, of which he gives a good description, and north to Milwaukee and Green Bay. There he visited the Beaver Islands and gives an account of the followers of Jesse Strang that he met there, as well as commentary on Mormonism in general. He spent considerable time shooting and travelling in Wisconsin, and considered it wonderful country. The second volume describes being in a hurricane in Antigua and cruising from Jamaica to Panama. The last hundred pages are devoted to Mackinnon's experiences occupying the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic for Great Britain in 1846. An interesting book, evidently quite scarce, by a very commonsensical Royal Navy captain. Not in Clark, but should be. This copy is signed on the top of each titlepage by Donald S. MacKinnon, presumably a relative. SABIN 43461. FLAKE 5214. BUCK 475. Original publisher's blindstamped cloth, neatly rebacked with original gilt spines laid down. Slight bumping to corners. Titlepage in each volume signed: "Donald S. MacKinnon." Very good.
