The Remarkable World of Frances Barkley: 1769-1845
Description:
Frances Barkley was just seventeen when she became the first European woman to set foot on the shores of the Pacific Northwest. After a sheltered upbringing in England, Frances found herself boarding the Imperial Eagle in 1786 to set sail on an adventurous, round-the-world voyage with her husband, Captain Charles William Barkley. With great wisdom and wit, Frances recounted her eight years at sea in her "Reminiscences" as she found herself in a wider world, helping her husband in his business, giving birth to her children, surviving the tragedy of a young daughter's death and meeting strange and foreign peoples. The Remarkable World of Frances Barkley is a brilliant tribute that brings the intrepid young bride and her world to life for a new generation of readers.
