The Adventures of Ebenezer Fox in the Revolutionary War

Published by Charles Fox, Boston, 1847.

Hardcover with gilt title on spine, 240 pp. with one page of advertisement.

Nice condition. Text is clean with no writing or marks that I can see.

Originally apprenticed to a barber, Fox became a soldier in the militia (as a substitute for his employer), was discharged, and later signed aboard a 20-gun ship, the Protector, used to protect American shipping and to annoy the British. In his second cruise, he was captured by the British and put aboard the prison ship Jersey. Conditions on this prison ship were intolerable, and Fox was forced to \"join the British.\" He was sent to Jamaica, where he ultimately escaped by sea to Cuba, eventually returning to Boston in May 1783.

I\'ve done my best to describe the book, but if you have additional questions or want additional info or pictures, please don\'t hesitate to send me an e-mail.
