The following book revolves around the story of a man who sets out to correct erroneous assumptions on the existence of a race of giant humans rumoured to be living in Patagonia and described in early European accounts, called the Patagonian giants. The first mention of these people came from the voyage of Ferdinand Magellan and his crew, who claimed to have seen them while exploring the coastline of South America en route to the Maluku Islands in their circumnavigation of the world in the 1520s.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1853 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IX. A civilized oaeal--A happy evening -- A survey of the island -- Preparation of guano -- Preparations against invasion by the giants -- A proposal to attack thorn -- Loyalty and revenge -- Killing time -- Trouble in the settlement -- A disagreeable situation -- Arrival of vessels -- Countrymen -- A welcome by new friends. After getting sufficiently thawed out, I gave a synopsis of my adventures. The cook presently laid the table, and brought in supper. I ate heartily of bread and Irish pork, and drank tea raised in Brazil, called matte. It may not compare favorably with the produce of China, but to me it was a delicious beverage. I had been in captivity ninetyseven days, living as the reader has seen.

I again expressed to Mr. Hall, on learning his name, my gratitude at finding myself, through his timely assistance, among friends, though a stranger. He cordially sympathized with me, observing that he had been a prisoner among the Patagonians for one day only, but had seen enough in that short time to be convinced that a lifeof ninety-seven days with them must have been dreadful indeed. After supper the boat was hauled up on the island. Pipes and tobacco were furnished, and I passed in the society of my deliverers one of the happiest evenings of my whole life. Thp change was so great, from the miserable and almost hopeless existence I had so long lived, that my joy exceeded all bounds. My heart overflowed with gratitude. Words could not then, and cannot now, convey any adequate impression of my feelings, -- of the freedom and joy that animated me, on being snatched from perils, ..

These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Captive in Patagonia: Book-making is so much of a trade, that it may be thought quite unnecessary to be at the trouble to assign reasons for embarking in it; but, as it is not my own vocation, it will be allowed me to say, that the deep interest which many, not only of my personal friends, but others whom I never saw, have taken in my fortunes, and the desires expressed, both verbally and by letter, to know more of my adventures than was communicated through the newspapers, overcame the reluctance I felt to undertake such a task. ...For California-Pernambuco-Straits of Magellan-Trading with Patagonians-Their treachery-Four men made prisoners by them-Three escape; the author detained, with promises of release on paying ransom-Indian village-The chief and his household-Eating, sleeping, and adventure in a Patagonian wigwam-Find myself booked for an indefinite residence in Patagonia, and some natural reflections thereupon 25 ...For California-Pernambuco-Straits of Magellan-Trading with Patagonians-Their treachery-Four men made prisoners by them-Three escape; the author detained, with promises of release on paying ransom-Indian village-The chief and his household-Eating, sleeping, and adventure in a Patagonian wigwam-Find myself booked for an indefinite residence in Patagonia, and some natural reflections thereupon. ...After a long time, or what seemed such under circumstances that made minutes seem ages, one of my men came down, and asked permission to go to the Indian village, "a little way back from the shore," as they had been promised meat, eggs, and fowls. ...Perceiving that I was to be used as a decoy to lure the others into their treacherous snare, and secure them all as prisoners, I protested against this new breach of faith, and assured them that our men would not leave their boat, but that, if they wanted any rum and tobacco, they must take me to the shore.
