Description
1855 Voyages Richard Cleveland Fur Trade China Hawaii California Coastal Indians
A truly rare printing of the invaluable, yet lesser known explorational narrative of Richard Jeffry Clevelands trade voyages. Hailing from Salem, Massachusetts, Richard J. Cleveland, was a sailor, fur trader, and vice consul at Havana.
Within Cleveland tells of his numerous merchant travels and the significant time he spent exploring along the way. He details interactions with Native Americans in the US Pacific Northwest, his role in delivering the first horse ever to the Hawaiian Islands, and a fascinating account exploring the then scarcely inhabited Californian coast. Cleveland continues writing about his other trade voyages around the world to many countries including Hong Kong, Macao, China, Indonesia, Cape Verde Islands, Haiti, and many more! A must read!
