From the introduction:"Benjamin Frankllin Bourne, mate of a vessel that sailed, via the straits of Magellan, for California in 1849, during the intensity of the gold fever, was taken prisoner by the Patagonians, having landed to bring off some of the sailors. He remained in their hands for more than three months, and in his THE CAPTIVE IN PATAGONIA gives a detailed description of the character and customs of the natives of that country. We extract from his work a good, brief description of the country and its people.".
