Beskrivelse af Perils, Pastimes, And Pleasures Of An Emigrant In Australia, Vancouver's Island, And California (1849)
Perils, Pastimes, and Pleasures of an Emigrant in Australia, Vancouver's Island, and California (1849) is a memoir written by James Ward, chronicling his experiences as an emigrant in the mid-19th century. The book covers his journey from England to Australia, where he spent several years working as a shepherd and gold miner. He then traveled to Vancouver's Island, where he worked as a trader and farmer, before finally making his way to California during the Gold Rush.Throughout the book, Ward describes the challenges and dangers he faced as an emigrant, including shipwrecks, harsh weather conditions, and encounters with Indigenous peoples. He also shares his observations on the social and cultural differences between the countries he visited, as well as his thoughts on the natural landscapes and wildlife he encountered.The book provides a vivid and detailed account of life as an emigrant in the mid-19th century, offering a unique perspective on the historical events and cultural changes of the era. Ward's writing style is engaging and descriptive, making the book a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of Australia, Canada, and the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
