Round Cape Horn: Voyage of the Passenger Ship James W. Paige, from Maine to California in 1852 is a historical account of a journey taken by a passenger ship in the mid-19th century. The book was written by Joseph Lamson and was first published in 1878. The story takes place during the California Gold Rush, when many people were traveling from the East Coast of the United States to California in search of gold.The James W. Paige was a typical passenger ship of the time, and Lamson describes in detail the conditions on board, the crew, and the passengers. He also provides a vivid description of the voyage itself, including the ship's passage around Cape Horn, one of the most treacherous routes for sailing vessels.Lamson's account is based on his own experiences as a passenger on the James W. Paige, and his observations provide a unique perspective on life aboard a passenger ship during this era. He describes the daily routines of the crew and passengers, the challenges they faced, and the various sights and sounds they encountered along the way.Overall, Round Cape Horn is a fascinating historical document that offers a glimpse into the world of 19th-century sea travel. It is a must-read for anyone interested in maritime history, the California Gold Rush, or the experiences of early American travelers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
