520    "The true and remarkable life of Richard Willis (Will) 
       Jackson, an intrepid seaman from one of the leading 
       shipbuilding families in nineteenth-century Maine, whose 
       exploits and adventures in the oceans of the world include
       surviving a harrowing shipwreck in the Marshall Islands, 
       being washed overboard rounding Cape Horn, and running 
       down Alaskan glaciers. His faithful letters to his family 
       in Maine and his diary offer a compelling portrait of an 
       extraordinary young man of character and independent 
       spirit, intellect and curiosity, no small ambition, and 
       that most admirable of traits, an abiding sense of humor"-
