James Hall's 'Sketches of History, Life and Manners' is a fascinating 1835 account of life in the American West.

1819 Kingdom of Naples 1st ed Calabria Ulteriore Travels Voyages Girace Brigands

"Occurrences During a Six Months' Residence in the Province of Calabria Ulteriore, in the Kingdom of Naples, in the Years 1809, 1810" by Lieut. Philip J. Elmhirst, offers a detailed account of the author's experiences and observations during his six-month stay in the Calabria Ulteriore province. Beginning with a harrowing shipwreck off Cape Stillo and the crew's subsequent detention by the local authorities, the narrative delves into the author's interactions with the inhabitants, the customs, and the landscape of the region.
