Description:
New York: for the Publisher, n.d. 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. All of the crew were 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. See also Howes A-189, Huntress 181 C. Hill 887. Jewitt wrote his own account, which was published in 1807. Bound in original pictorial board which have been rebacked in brown cloth with paper spine label. Front cover rubbed, minor water staining. A good copy.. 16.5 cm. (166 pp. b/w frontispiece, illustrations in text

Description:
12 mo, publisher cloth backed boards, illustrated with wood engravings, some in color (probably by early owner) 166 pp. Boards are worn and soiled with some chipping at edges, and some fading to title wording. Early owner signatures to preliminaries. Also, some light foxing and a few chips to edges of a couple of pages, but not affecting text The present work appears to be a reworking of a journal published by Jewitt in Boston in 1807. At least two editions were published of this book in 1815, one in Connecticut and the present volume, which was published in New York. Despite the fact that this work was published in numerous editions, Alsop felt he didn't really do Jewitt any real good, because he seemed to be reduced to a vagabond like existence marching around the country hawking his book (Field). According to Streeter Jewitt was the first white man to live with the Indians in Nootka Sound, and the work presents an excellent account of his adventures. Considered a very accurate portrayal of the…
