Excerpt from The Utmost Parts of the Earth: Some Account of the Settlement of Tristan D'acunha, in the Atlantic OceanIT has been often said that truth is strange-stranger than fiction. And perhaps this brief history may be allowed to stand as one more proof of the truth of the old saying. It is the history of a little Spot of earth, not yet fifty years inhabited by man. And yet events have happened on it, strange and startling enough, some of them, to find a place in a novel or romance. Alas that their record should be, like the whole of this world's history, chie¿y a sad tale of sorrow and of sin!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
