Book Description
Travel account by Peter Corney, first lieutenant on the schooner Columbia, which was fitted out by a consortium of English firms to conduct a trade in furs between China and the Northwest coast of America. The voyage lasted four years, during which time Corney was an eye-witness to the burning and sacking of Monterey. He writes also of the Russian settlements in America, the abortive Russian settlement on Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands, the relations between the Americans and the Russians, and the means and problems of trading with China. The ship itself was, in the end, purchased by King Kamehameha I of Hawaii.
