Ranald MacDonald : the narrative of his early life on the Columbia under the Hudson's Bay Company's regime, of his experiences in the Pacific whale fishery, and of his great adventure to Japan : with a sketch of his later life on the Western Frontier, 1824-1894 / edited and annotated from the original manuscripts by William S. Lewis and Naojiro Murakami.
In 1848, MacDonald became the first native speaker of English to teach his language in Japan, which had been closed to the outside world for nearly two and a half centuries. Originally published posthumously in 1923, this is a reprint of the original book--Ranald's own report of his voyage, as well as his earlier and later life.
