The Captive In Patagonia: Or Life Among The Giants, A Personal Narrative is a book written by Benjamin Franklin Bourne. It is a personal account of his experience being captured by indigenous people in Patagonia, South America, during the mid-19th century. Bourne, an American sailor, was taken captive along with his crewmates by a group of Tehuelche people, who were known for their exceptional height and strength. The book describes Bourne's life among the Tehuelche people, his interactions with them, and the customs and traditions of their culture. He provides vivid descriptions of the Patagonian landscape, including the fauna and flora, as well as the harsh living conditions he endured during his captivity. Bourne also details his eventual escape from captivity, and his journey back to civilization. The book offers a unique perspective on the indigenous people of Patagonia, and sheds light on their way of life, which was vastly different from the European culture that Bourne was accustomed to. Overall, The Captive In Patagonia: Or Life Among The Giants, A Personal Narrative is a fascinating account of a man's adventure and survival in a remote and unfamiliar land, and provides valuable insight into the history and culture of Patagonia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
