[PU: London: Penguin Books], XVI, 331 p. Paperback. Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar ohne Anstreichungen / a good and clean copy without markings. - One of the finest first-person narratives of a sea voyage from the nineteenth century in existence, and a major source for National Book Award winner Nathaniel Philbrick's bestselling Sea of G/ory, The Private Journal of William Reynolds brings to life the boisterous world traversed by the six vessels that comprised America's first oceangoing voyage of discovery-the U.S. Exploring Expedition of 1838-1842. With great eloquence and verve Midshipman William Reynolds describes the harrowing 87,000 mile, four-year circuit of the globe, and relates the story of how the abusive commander of the "Ex. Ex.," Lieutenant Charles Wilkes, gradually lost the support of his crew. With a seaman's understanding and an artist's appreciation for the wild beauty that surrounds him, Reynolds combines meticulous observations with a young man's sense of wonder and, on occasion, terror as he is tossed about by the tremendous seas. / Contents Introduction Suggestions for Further Reading A Note on the Text The Private Journal of William Reynolds Explanatory Notes A Glossary of Place-Names.
