THE ADVENTURES OF JOHN JEWITT: The true story that inspired Into the Americas
by John Rodgers Jewitt

A fascinating, compelling story of one many journey aboard "The Boston". He chronicles his life, through rough , and often brutal times. A courageous man who is determined to remain open-minded and kind, in a world of Cruelty. Through John's journals, we learn of the (horrific) treatment of the Native people, and how John coped during this tumultuous time. I highly recommend to all. A definite five star read!… (mehr)

This book was all right, but it does not compare with Skeletons on the Zahara. It could just be because of the time-frame/style in which it was written, or because the introduction had quoted directly from the narrative making the descriptions of some of the native customs and the descriptions of the land redundant. In fact, the most interesting part of the book was the few pages that had to do with Jewitt after his rescue. It is too bad that it could not have been expanded on due to lack of documentation. Considering how much he traveled afterward one would think he would have kept a journal at that time as well.… (mehr)

Great depth of detail. Recommend reading Hilary Stewart's annotated version of this. She adds much to Jewitt's careful observations, at times clarifying, at other times correcting. Her sketches say as much as her words.

Republication of the original Narrative by John R. Jewitt, originally published in 1815, detailing his detention for almost three years by some aboriginal people of Nootka Sound, Vancouver Island, with numerous black and white illustrations
