About This Item
Boston, Ma: Little Brown & Company, 2002. First Edition, 1st Printing . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Ronnberg, Erik & Tonkin, Gary. Volume has black and white cloth covers with gold lettering on the spine. A bump at the bottom of the front cover at the corner causes the slight condition downgrade of the book. Dust jacket is protected in an archival quality cover. 308 pages. The volume is based on the find of a 150 plus year old journal that turned out to be a young officer's account of an 1825 naval expedition dispatched to the Pacific with orders to apprehend the perpetrators of the Globe mutiny. This work tells the story. A nice copy.
