Journal of Voyages

"Journal of Voyages" is the autobiography of Captain Jacob Dunham, an American sailor of the late 17th Century. After a short introductory brief of his early childhood, it launches into his career as a seaman with the purchase of his first ship, named The Rover. It is a tale of the adventures he had at sea, containing an account of the author's being twice captured by the English and once by Gibbs the pirate; his narrow escape when chased by an English war schooner; as well as his being cast away and residing with Native Americans.
