Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John R. Jewitt's story of being captured and enslaved by Maquinna, the great chief of the Mowachaht people, is both an adventure tale of survival and an unusual perspective on the First Nations of the northwest coast of Vancouver Island. On March 22, 1803, while anchored in Nootka Sound on the west coast of Vancouver Island, the Boston was attacked by a group of Mowachaht warriors. Twenty-five of her 27 crewmen were massacred, their heads "arranged in a line" for survivor John R. Jewitt to identify. Jewitt and another survivor, John Thompson, became 2 of some 50 slaves owned by the chief known as Maquinna. Among other duties, they were forced to carry wood for three miles and fight for Maquinna when he slaughtered a neighbouring tribe. But their worst fear came from knowing that slaves could be killed whenever their master chose. Since most of the Mowachaht wanted the two whites dead, they never knew what would come first—freedom or death. After Jewitt was rescued, following 28 months in captivity, he wrote a book of his experiences. It appeared in 1815 and became known as Jewitt's Narrative. It proved so popular that it is still being reprinted today.

Book Synopsis Captive of the Nootka Indians by : Alice W. Shurcliff
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.

Download or read book Adventures and Sufferings of John R. Jewitt written by Hilary and published by D & M Publishers. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Narrative of the Adventures and Sufferings of John R. Jewitt is a classic of its kind. In 1802, when he was nineteen, Jewitt signed on the brigantine Boston, which set sail from England for the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America. At Nootka Sound on Vancouver Island, the ship stopped to trade furs with the native people. Days later, the powerful chief Maquinna and his warriors massacred the ship's entire crew--except for Jewitt and John Thompson. Held captive as a slave for two years, young Jewitt experienced adventure and hardship as he learned the language, took part in many facets of native life and even married against his will. Throughout it all, he kept a forbidden journal recording his activities and observations. Hilary Stewart enriches this reprint of Jewitt's narrative with background information on the history of the coast and a chapter on the remainder of his colourful life.
Download or read book The Great Ocean written by David Igler and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-18 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pacific of the early eighteenth century was not a single ocean but a vast and varied waterscape, a place of baffling complexity, with 25,000 islands and seemingly endless continental shorelines. But with the voyages of Captain James Cook, global attention turned to the Pacific, and European and American dreams of scientific exploration, trade, and empire grew dramatically. By the time of the California gold rush, the Pacific's many shores were fully integrated into world markets-and world consciousness. The Great Ocean draws on hundreds of documented voyages--some painstakingly recorded by participants, some only known by archeological remains or indigenous memory--as a window into the commercial, cultural, and ecological upheavals following Cook's exploits, focusing in particular on the eastern Pacific in the decades between the 1770s and the 1840s. Beginning with the expansion of trade as seen via the travels of William Shaler, captain of the American Brig Lelia Byrd, historian David Igler uncovers a world where voyagers, traders, hunters, and native peoples met one another in episodes often marked by violence and tragedy. Igler describes how indigenous communities struggled against introduced diseases that cut through the heart of their communities; how the ordeal of Russian Timofei Tarakanov typified the common practice of taking hostages and prisoners; how Mary Brewster witnessed first-hand the bloody "great hunt" that decimated otters, seals, and whales; how Adelbert von Chamisso scoured the region, carefully compiling his notes on natural history; and how James Dwight Dana rivaled Charles Darwin in his pursuit of knowledge on a global scale. These stories--and the historical themes that tie them together--offer a fresh perspective on the oceanic worlds of the eastern Pacific. Ambitious and broadly conceived, The Great Ocean is the first book to weave together American, oceanic, and world history in a path-breaking portrait of the Pacific world.
Book Synopsis Among the Nootka by : Gerald Stanley
Download or read book Among the Nootka written by Gerald Stanley and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When John Jewitt boarded a ship in England in 1802 for what was supposed to be an eighteen-month voyage around the world, he was ready for adventure. The seventeen-year-old had been enthralled by stories about China Trade, which promised enchanting islands, exotic ports-of-call, and thrills beyond the imagination. His dreams were dashed when the Nootka Indians of Vancouver Island captured him and made him a slave. But he managed to write about his experience, providing historians and anthropologists with a rare account of Native American culture before it collapsed from contact with whites. Jewitt said the Nootka were savages, degraded for their morals and customs. They were uncivilized for worshipping several gods and subhuman for enjoying rotten salmon. His writings help explain why whites were so quick to enslave Africans and push Native Americans aside. Take a glimpse into the past when people were considered inferior because they were different, and learn important lessons about why we must be tolerant and understanding by being Among the Nootka.

Book Synopsis The Wild Frontier by : Pierre Berton
Download or read book The Wild Frontier written by Pierre Berton and published by Anchor Canada. This book was released on 2012-06-19 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada’s wild frontier—a land unsettled and unknown, a land of appalling obstacles and haunting beauty—comes to life through seven remarkable individuals, including John Jewitt, the young British seaman who became a slave to the Nootka Indians; Dr. Wilfred Grenfell, the eccentric missionary; Sam Steele, the most famous of all Mounted Policemen; and Isaac Jorges, the 17th-century priest who courted martyrdom. Many of the stories of these figures read like the wildest of fiction: Cariboo Cameron, who, after striking it rich in B.C., pickled his wife’s body in alcohol and gave her three funerals; Mina Hubbard, the young widow who trekked across the unexplored heart of Labrador as an act of revenge; and Almighty Voice, the renegade Cree, who was the key figure in the last battle between white men and Aboriginals in North America. Spanning more than two centuries and four thousand miles, this book demonstrates how our frontier resembles no other and how for better and for worse it has shaped our distinctive sense of Canada.

Download or read book The North American Indian: The Nootka. The Haida written by Edward S. Curtis and published by . This book was released on 1916 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[A] comprehensive and permanent record of all the important tribes of the United States and Alaska that still retain to a considerable degree their primitive customs and traditions. The value of such a work, in great measure, will lie in the breadth of its treatment, in its wealth of illustration, and in the fact that it represents the result of personal study of a people who are rapidly losing the traces of their aboriginal character and who are destined ultimately to become assimilated with the 'superior race.' It has been the aim to picture all features of the Indian life and environment--types of the young and the old, with their habitations, industries, ceremonies, games, and everyday customs ... Though the treatment accorded the Indians by those who lay claim to civilization and Christianity has in many cases been worse than criminal, a rehearsal of these wrongs does not properly find a place here"--General introduction.
