Thrilling Adventures by Land and Sea. Being remarkable historical facts gathered from authentic sources. [With plates
A popular anthology of adventure and disaster narratives compiled by James O. Brayman and issued by G. H. Derby & Co. in 1852 for American general readers. The wood-engraved plates set each scene—frontier ambushes, captives carried off, a wrecked or storm-struck ship—inside a heavy border of logs, branches and leaves with small subsidiary vignettes worked into the margins, giving designers ready-made rustic frames and captioned narrative tableaux.
