About This Item
Portland, OR: Loki Books/Breitenbush Publications, 1982. First Edition, First Printing . Soft cover. Near Fine/None as Issued. BRAND NEW Copy w/trace edge rubs to illustrated soft cover. Author signed. First Edition, First Printing. High adventure historical novel based on the fate of the merchant ship Tonquin of the early 19th Century. The ship, used by John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company, had established fur trading outposts on the Northwest Coast, including Fort Astoria at the mouth of the Columbia River. In 1811, while trading fur on board, Captain Thorn evidently "tossed" some otter pelts at the local chieftan; an insult so grave that the natives assaulted the ship. In the face of total annihilation, injured crew member James Lewis blew up the vessel, killing himself as well. The only survivor of the 23 member was a half Chinook and half British pilot of the ship Lamazee (alias Jack, or George, Ramsay). The novel is an adventure/mystery framed arround these extraordinary happenings.
