A fine copy of the presumed first hard cover edition (no explicit edition or printing statement) in a very (not clipped) dust-jacket, warmly inscribed and signed by Ken [Owens] on the front free endpaper in 1986. The text is wholly unmarked, pristine, and the binding and jacket are bright and fresh in appearance, though there is some age discoloration around the edges of the jacket. A lovely copy.

From the Back Cover
This volume combines two source accounts of the event. The first is the story of a Russian survivor, Timofei Osipovich Tarakanov, the expedition's leader after the shipwreck. The second is a Quileute account, preserved orally for nearly a century before being recorded in 1909. Combined, these wonderful accounts tell a tale of adventure with moments of high drama, heroism, a touch of comedy, and eventual tragedy.
