| Delano's Voyages of Commerce and Discovery Edited by Eleanor Roosevelt Seagraves
Eleanor Roosevelt Seagraves, relative of Amasa Delano and granddaughter of President Franklin Roosevelt, has been a librarian, educator, and scholar. She resides in Washington, D.C
|
Seafaring merchant Amasa Delano kept adventure-filled journals through three globe-girdling commercial voyages that now offer a keen view of customs, culture, and trade two hundred years ago. Lively and readable, Delano's work offers a fascinating account of the world before industrialization, and is as accessible to today's reader as it was in 1817. An excellent contemporary companion to Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin novels.
