A shipwreck narrative with Americana interest because of the victim's experiences with the Indians of the Virginia Tidewater region. Originally published in 1720, authorship of this work has been attributed to William Rufus Chetwood, a London playwright.
"Falconer, an Englishman, came to Boston in May, 1689.
Early in June he set out for Virginia.
His ship was grounded off Cape Charles.
According to Chetwood's account, Falconer was attacked by the Indians, captured, stripped, and tied to a stake.
He was finally released when he showed the Indians how to 'let blood'" - Clark.

Charles Fleischmann III, the great-grandson of the founder of the Fleischmann Yeast Company which opened in 1868 in Cincinnati, Ohio. After promoting the business at the 1876 Centennial Exposition the Fleischmann Yeast Company became the largest producer of yeast in the world.
