Description:
Boston: John Putnam, 1847. 8vo. 190 x 120 mm., ( 7 1/2 x 4 3/3 inches). xii, 13-324 pp. Original brown cloth, rubbed, slight tear to cloth joints, but sound; some foxing to a few signatures. This copy inscribed to Richard Sheppard by an anonymous friend. First edition. Little is known of the author Joseph G. Clark, but his stories of travels in the Pacific Brazil, Chile, Samoa, New Zeeland, the East Indies and Hawaii captured the public's imagination and a second edition was hurried into print in 1848. A well written book, Clark provides exciting detail of places and inhabitants he encountered and detailed physical descriptions of the remote places he visited. He also writes a great deal about California, its natural resources, the cities of Sacramento and San Francisco and the Columbia River Valley. He provides a birds-eye-view of Captain Wilkes and the U.S. Exploring Expedition, written for the "working classes" who are unable to afford the expensive set published by the government.…

Description:
1848 US Sailor Life CAPT WILKES Expedition ANTARCTICA Exploration HAWAII VoyagesIn "Lights and Shadows of Sailor Life," Joseph G. Clark recounts his fifteen-year maritime journey, chiefly detailing his experiences during the United States Exploring Expedition led by Captain Charles Wilkes. Clark shares gripping tales of the journey, including adventurous scientific expeditions to Antarctica and Hawaii, encounters with the locals in Fiji that almost cost him his life, and vivid portrayals of the rich landscapes of the Columbia River valley and California. He portrays both the exhilarating and perilous facets of sailor life, bringing to light the underappreciated roles sailors play in history and society. Through his eyes, readers are given a firsthand glimpse into a world filled with wonder, danger, and the raw beauty of the open seas.
