Please see the writeup on that trip as published in the Harper’s edition in the live portion of this catalog for more information. This expanded version has many wood block prints, all drawn by Browne. In addition, there is a fantastic story of Browne’s own adventure to a remoter island looking for evidence of Alexander Selkirk, the central figure in Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe. Though Defoe often told the press that his tale was fiction, rumors existed after his death that it was based on a true story. Browne, the ever-investigator, chronicles his visit in detail, using prose Clemens would be proud of. We won’t tell you the outcome and I am surprised they never made a movie out of it. (fh).
