2000réf. 26178Fairbanks:: University of Alaska Press 2000. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Very Goo plus copy with a small water stain to the heel of the binding in a Fine dust jacket. Porcher's journal reveals a man who strived to do his duty by the lights of the British Empire. That duty took Porcher to Esquimalt Royal Navy headquarters for the Pacific by way of a seven-month transit from England around South America to Hawaii and finally to British Columbia. Fortunately the dutiful navy officer was also an enthusiastic tourist; we have not only his words to recount what he saw but also a remarkable array of sensitive and skillfully rendered watercolors. His paintings captured people and places totems and tombs scenes and ships. The posting of his sail/steam vessel Sparrowhawk in Esquimalt was full of adventures for captain and crew typical of the time and place; she carried mail to San Francisco bore the governor north for the ceremonial transfer of Alaska from Russia to the U.S. rescued crews of wrecked vessels and went on the alert to thwart a Fenian threat.

1948réf. E0024156 pages with foldout map. Small octavo 7 3/4" x 6" issued in wrappers. From the library of Professor George M Foster Limited to 100 copies of which this is number 89. The original edition of this one of the most important relations of personal experience and observation among the savage tribes of the Arizona-Cali- fornia border is so scarce no copy has ever appeared in an auction room until 1922 when the University of California offered it for auction; so rare in fact is this work in the original that even Bancroft failed to locate a copy and was obliged to use the French reprint of 1842. Zuniga was attempting to found a colony on the Colorado and Gila with a view of uniting California and New Mexico. His narrative relates to these projects and to an account of the harassments desolation and miseries brought about by the constant incursions and depredations of the barbarous Apaches and other savage tribes of the border. George McClelland Foster Jr born in Sioux Falls South Dakota on October 9 1913 died on May 18 2006 at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California Berkeley where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979 when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics including acculturation long-term fieldwork peasant economies pottery making public health social structure symbolic systems technological change theories of illness and wellness humoral medicine in Latin America and worldview. The quantity quality and long-term value of his scholarly work led to his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976. Virtually all of his major publications have been reprinted and/or translated. Provenance from the executor of Foster's library laid in. Condition: Foster's stamp to front wrapper edge wear else a very good copy. Vargas Rea paperback
