We have more books available by this author!. xvii 274 pp. "Israel Potter: His Fifty Years of Exile is the eighth book by American writer Herman Melville first published in serial form in Putnam's Monthly magazine between July 1854 and March 1855 and in book form by G. P. Putnam & Co. in March 1855. A pirated edition was also published in London by George Routledge in May 1855. The book is loosely based on a pamphlet 108-page autobiography that Melville acquired in the 1840s Life and Remarkable Adventures of Israel R. Potter Providence Rhode Island 1824. When Israel Potter leaves his plow to fight in the American Revolution he's immediately thrown into the Battle of Bunker Hill where he receives multiple wounds. However this does not deter him and after hearing a rousing speech by General George Washington he volunteers for further duty this time at sea where more ill fortune awaits him. Israel is captured by the British Navy and taken to England. Yet he makes his escape and this triggers a series of extraordinary events and meetings with remarkable people. Along the way Israel encounters King George III who takes a liking to the Yankee rebel and shelters him in Kew Gardens; Benjamin Franklin who presses Israel into service as a spy; John Paul Jones who invites Israel to join his crew aboard The Ranger; and Ethan Allen whom Israel attempts to free from a British prison. Throughout these adventures Israel Potter acquits himself bravely but his patriotic valor does not bring him any closer to his dream of returning to America. After the war Israel finds himself in London where he descends into poverty. Finally fifty years after he left his plough he makes his way back to his beloved Berkshires. However few things remain the same. Soon Israel fades out of being his name out of memory and he dies on the same day the oldest oak on his native lands is blown down.
