Anthropophagi in New York and Other Voyagers

Abstract

In 1844, Harper and Brothers, of 82 Cliff Street, New-York (as the city's name was then written), published a now nearly forgotten book, Scenes, Incidents, and Adventures in the Pacffic Ocean. The account of a three-year voyage to the South Pacific was written by a young native New Yorker, the evocatively named Thomas Jefferson Jacobs.
