The Adventures of John Jewitt

This is the true story of John Jewitt, an English sailor who was captured by the native Nootka people of Vancouver Island in 1803, and spent over two years living among them as a slave. Jewitt's harrowing experiences, his relationship with his captors, and his eventual release and return to England make for a fascinating and inspiring tale of survival, resilience, and cultural exchange.
