Item description
PIRATE SLAVE
by Parker Rossman
Nashville/New York: Thomas Nelson Inc., Publishers, (1977).
First edition, first printing.
Dust jacket art by Mike Eagle.
The author drew extensively from three slave journals and from his extensive research at Yale, libraries in Beirut, Lebanon, and traveling the Mediterranean for the sources used in this accurately depicted historically-based novel.
Rossman features a 12-year-old boy slave traded by Americans to a group of men on a pirate ship. The boy's Arab captors make him a Mulsim and hope to sell him at a distant port.
The reader will see the Salem ships of the 19th-century and travel around the world in an historical, true-to-life adventure.
Fine in green linen with gilt titles to the spine; in a near fine lightly soiled dust jacket with a short tear to the lower front flap fold; original $6.95 price still intact to the front inner flap.
Quite an elusive juvenile, and an important historical novel.
Lovely Gift.
Octavo; 148 pages.
