Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. STORIES FROM EIGHTY YEARS OF TRAVEL AND ADVENTURE Frederic Greenhalgh-Shaw. Arthur H. Stockwell Ltd., Ilfracombe. 1988 First edition ISBN 0733222739 142pp Illustrated Hardback. This copy is in fine unmarked condition in a fine price clipped dust wrapper. This… is an adventure story, the story of Fred G. Shaw, some time seaman, gold prospector, bootlegger's runner and full time adventurer 'I wanted travel and I wanted adventure and I found both' This is how Fred Shaw from a small village near Henley on Thames, sums up his world-wide wanderings, Covering more than a million and a half miles, including seven times around Cape Horn and five circumnavigations of the world. During this time he diced with death, met millionaires, film stars and Royalty in California, and even went panning for gold in the High Sierras. And so opens the autobiography of the eighty years travels of Lieutenant-Commander F Shaw, RNR. His is a remarkable history, spanning prohibition and the Great depression in America in the 1920s and 1930s, to the early years of oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and Venezuela: the Spanish civil War in 1935 and Malta Convoys in the Second World War. Indeed there are not many men who have been several times round Cape Horn, a cannibal, jailbird twice, murderer, smuggler, bootlegger and crook! Ref BB3.
