A propos de cet article

Fine condition beige boards, blue cloth spine and silver spine lettering contained in a very good condition price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Richard Batman; Author Dedication; List of Maps and Illustrations; Foreword; Epilogue: Richard Henry Dana Revisited; Notes; Bibliography and Index. Illustrated with two sections of black-and-white plates. Some repaired tiny closed tears to upper jacket spine edge. "The west coast of North America in the mid-eighteenth century, sparsely settled and little known to the rest of the world, precipitously entered the fold of history largely through the unddertakings of three legendary travelers. The formidalbe and autocratic Spanish priest Father Junipero Serra founded a string of missions in California for the greater glory of God. The intrepid Englishman Captain James Cook made landmark voyages that opened the Pacific region to trade. And a restless hunter from North Carolina, Daniel Boone, trekked into the wild, luring other adventurers across the continent. With clarity and vigor, this epic of pre-Gold Rush California and the Pacific Northwest illuminates their lives and the lives of the men who followed in their footsteps: British naval officer George Vancouver, whose crews surveyed and charted the western coastline; John Ledyard, whose Quixotic schemes for getting rich intrigued even Thomas Jefferson; merchant trader Richard Cleveland, whose trips to Canton spurred the developing China trade; Harvard dropout Richard Henry Dana, who signed aboard the brig Pilgrim and described his adventures along the California coast in Two Years Before the Mast. More than strictly a historical account, The Outer Coast is a chronicle of experience and conflict. The confrontations between Spanish officials and Yankee trappers, the struggles among men (and nations) for territories and trade routes, the expeditions where only the daring, or lucky, survived, create an unforgettable panorama of achievement and endurance. We discover firsthand how it must have felt to live on the outer coast of America in those distant times." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.…

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
