Download or read book Captive of the Nootka Indians written by Alice W. Shurcliff and published by Northeastern University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fur-trading with the Northwest Coast Indians in the early nineteenth century could produce huge profits when the beautiful skins of the sea otter were sold in the Chinese port of Canton, but the work was risky and hazardous." "In 1803 the ship Boston dropped anchor in Nootka Sound on Vancouver Island, its crew ready to barter for pelts. Instead, the ship was overrun by the Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) Indians, whose chief Maquinna, had ordered the murder of the entire crew. John R. Jewitt, the ship's blacksmith, was wounded but was spared by Maquinna, who enslaved him for his skills as a metalworker." "This fascinating book brings together a most distinguished collection of historical material: Jewitt's Journal of his two-and-a-half-year captivity; a parallel Narrative prepared by Richard Alsop, a well-known writer of the time, based on the diary and Alsop's interviews with Jewitt but heavily embellished by Alsop; and a wealth of period illustrations. Jewitt's Journal and Alsop's Narrative have never before been published together in English." "A Foreword by Richard I. Inglis of the Royal British Columbia Museum provides historical and ethnographical insights into the fur trade and the Jewitt captivity." "At the heart of the book are the illustrations done by the official artists on the expeditions of James Cook in 1778 and Alejandro Malaspina in 1791. Many of the drawings are of people Jewitt knew during his captivity. Others depict Nuu-chah-nulth terrain, dwellings, canoes, whaling equipment, masks, and ceremonial rattles."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'From Paris to New York by Land" is a travel adventure memoir of Harry de Windt. He notes, "Many who read the following account of our long land journey will not unnaturally ask: "What was the object of this stupendous voyage, or the reward to be gained by this apparently unnecessary risk of life and endurance of hardships?" I would reply that my primary purpose was to ascertain the feasibility of constructing a railway to connect the chief cities of France and America, Paris and New York. The European Press was at the time of our departure largely interested in this question, which fact induced the proprietors of the Daily Express of London, the Journal of Paris, and the New York World to contribute towards the expenses of the expedition..."

Download or read book The Franco Americans of New England written by Yves Roby and published by Les éditions du Septentrion. This book was released on 2004 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1840 and 1930, approximately 900,000 people left Quebec for the United States and settled in French-Canadian colonies in New England's industrial cities. Yves Roby draws from first-person accounts to explore the conversion of these immigrants and their descendants from French-Canadian to Franco-American. The first generation of immigrants saw themselves as French Canadians who had relocated to the United States. They were not involved with American society and instead sought to recreate their lost homeland. The Franco-Americans of New England reveals that their children, however, did not see a need to create a distinct society. Although they maintained aspects of their language, religion, and customs, they felt no loyalty to Canada and identified themselves as Franco-American. Roby's analysis raises insightful questions about not only Franco-Americans but also the integration of ethno-cultural groups into Canadian society and the future of North American Francophonies.
