This book is an incredible true adventure story with descriptions of the Native American Indian Tribes of Vancouver Island. Having lived in the Northwest my whole life, I never knew the incredible history of this area. It tells the story of a young man, (John Jewitt) going on a ship from England to explore the world. He was a metal smith and hired on the ship "Boston". His journey was supposed to take him to America where he was going to purchase furs, sell them in China, and return to America and begin his life. His plans were drastically altered when the ship was overtaken by Indians at "Friendly cove" in Vancouver, where he spent the next three years as a slave to the King.
