The Adventures of Ebenezer Fox

An authentic survivor of early American history, this antique mid-19th century edition of The Adventures of Ebenezer Fox in the Revolutionary War offers a vivid first-person account of the American Revolution from a man who lived it. Published in Boston by Charles Fox circa 1847–1848, this compact and beautifully bound volume contains the recollections of Ebenezer Fox — sailor, patriot, and Revolutionary War veteran — whose experiences included naval warfare, imprisonment aboard the notorious British prison ship Jersey, and firsthand encounters during America’s fight for independence. Bound in its original embossed brown cloth with gilt decoration and spine lettering, the book retains the character and wear expected of a well-preserved 19th-century American printing. The engraved frontispiece portrait of Ebenezer Fox remains present, adding to the historical and visual appeal of the volume. A compelling piece for collectors of Americana, Revolutionary War history, maritime history, or early American memoirs.
