Item description from seller

Language: English. Approximately 620 pages. English : Print-on-demand reprint. Original edition : 1818. An important early American maritime and captivity narrative recounting the wreck of the brig Commerce off the western coast of Africa and the ordeal of the survivors as they attempted to cross the Sahara toward Tripoli. The volume is of particular interest for its account of survival, travel in North Africa, and early nineteenth-century Atlantic and desert exploration. It also includes Paddock's narrative of the wreck of the ship Oswego, adding further documentary and historical interest. This work is of strong appeal to collectors of sea narratives, African travel accounts, and rare early American imprints. Book images are non-contractual. This item is printed on demand and ships from our printing partners' facility nearest the destination. These facilities are located mainly in the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada.
