189346573Philadelphia PA: The John C. Winston Company. Very Good in Very Good- dust jacket. c1893. Reprint Edition. Cloth. An attractive copy in publisher's pictorial cloth boards in Very Good condition lightly soiled boards and tanned leaves small tear to front pastedown in Very Good- pictorial dust-jacket with a couple of chips mainly at spine ends. Reprinted by the John C. Winston Company in the early 20th century ; Frank in the Woodswas one of a number of adventure stories published by Charleston Austin Fosdick better known by his nom de plume Harry Castlemon. This novel was originally published in 1865 but this edition dates from the early twentieth century probably prior to the 1930s. Castlemon's books were quite popular in their day and often went through numerous reprintings; Frank and Archie; 12mo; i-iv v-vi 7-256 pages; Book dates from the early twentieth century no earlier than 1904 based on the address of the publisher from the dust-jacket and no later than 1960 the date that the John C. Winston Company merged with Holt Reinhart and Winston. Either way this is a reprint and probably not incredibly valuable. The John C. Winston Company was founded in 1884 and expanded rapidly during its first two decades of operation moving offices an average of every five years. Its office at 1006-1016 Arch Street which is today occupied by luxury condos opened in summer 1904. See the article at: http: //hiddencityphila.org/2012/09/this-is-a-publishing-house/ . The John C.

The Wilkes expedition was the first United States scientific expedition by sea working mainly in the Pacific Ocean. Wilkes sailed along the Antarctic continent and throughout the islands of the South Pacific visited the Hawaiian Islands in 1840 and explored the Northwest Coast of America in 1841. The expedition was made up of a number of notable American scientists and their botanical natural history and geological findings are included. Charles Wilkes 1798-1877 "entered the United States Navy as a midshipman in 1818 and became a lieutenant in 1826. In 1830 he was placed in charge of the division of instruments and charts and in 1838 was appointed to command an exploring and surveying expedition in the Southern Seas authorized by Congress in 1836. The expedition including naturalists botanists a mineralogist taxidermists a philologist among others was carried by the sloops-of-war 'Vincennes' and 'Peacock' the brig 'Porpoise' the storeship 'Relief' and two tenders. Leaving Hampton Roads on the 18th of August 1838 it stopped at Madeira and Rio de Janeiro; visited Tierra del Fuego Chile Peru the Paumotu group of the Low Archipelago the Samoan islands and New South Wales; from Sydney sailed into the Antarctic Ocean in December 1839 and reported the discovery of an Antarctic continent west of the Balleny islands; visited the Fiji and the Hawaiian islands in 1840 explored the west coast of the United States including the Columbia river San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento river in 1841 and returned by way of the Philippine islands the Sulu archipelago Borneo Singapore Polynesia and the Cape of Good Hope reaching New York on the 10th of June 1842. He was court-martialed on his return and acquitted on all charges except that of illegally punishing men in his squadron. For a short time he was attached to the Coast Survey but from 1844 to 1861 he was chiefly engaged in preparing the report of the expedition Encyclopedia Britannica Eleventh Edition. Wilkes's Narrative "would also have an impact on some of America's most important and influential writers. James Fenimore Cooper an old family friend of the Wilkes's would integrate information from the Narrative into at least two of his sea novels. Herman Melville would purchase his own copy of Wilkes's book and scholars have found traces of the U.S. Exploring Expedition throughout his masterpiece Moby-Dick. Melville appears to have been most taken with the book's illustrations. For example his description of Ishmael's Polynesian companion Queequeg has been attributed to an engraving of a tattooed Maori chief in Volume 2. In an age before the widespread use of photography the pages of the Narrative provided a visual link with the exotic world of the South Pacific as well as Antarctica and the Pacific Northwest that no other American book could match" Nathaniel Philbrick "The Scientific Legacy of the U.S. Exploring Expedition" part of The United States Exploring Exhibition 1830-1842 an online exhibition by Smithsonian Institution Libraries Washington D.C.: 2004.
