Sobre este artículo
Thomaston [Me.: D.J. Starret, 1851. [5],10-88pp., printed in double columns. Original printed paper wrappers bound into later brown cloth, leather label. Wrappers chipped at edges. Some dampstaining. Good, unopened. Adventures of a sailor on board the Chilean brig of war Achilles, originally published serially in a Thomaston newspaper. Wright's AMERICAN FICTION lists this, but cautiously notes that it is "based upon an actual trip." A contemporary review reads:
"It is put forward as an authentic narrative, and many of the scenes appear too natural and life like to be an invention of the author. The very minuteness and novelty of the details preserve it from the charge of being an imaginary work. It is, however, a striking proof of the fact that truth is stranger than fiction, being full of stirring adventures, vivid scenes, and hair breadth escapes." SABIN 12800. PALAU 256530. WRIGHT 2:1964. FIELD 57.
