Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Rovings in the Pacific, From 1837 to 1849, Vol. 1 of 2: With a Glance at California
The author's days, it will be seen, have been passed, not in the idealities of life, but in its downright rough realities; and he is not without hope that this simple record of his experience may stimulate many a youth, whose energies are lying dormant for want of a field for their exertion in this densely peopled country, to seek, in the Isles of the Pacific, the home and the adventurous career which he is sure to find there, if he faint not. Should this be the case, the principal end which the author had in view, by publishing these notes, will be fully attained.
