520 2  "Sailing the uncharted waters of the Pacific in 1830, 
       Captain Benjamin Morrell of Connecticut became the first 
       outsider to encounter the inhabitants of a small island 
       off New Guinea. The contact quickly turned violent, fatal 
       cannons were fired, and Morrell abducted young Dako, a 
       hostage so shocked by the white complexions of his 
       kidnappers that he believed he had been captured by the 
       dead. This gripping book unveils for the first time the 
       strange odyssey the two men shared in ensuing years. The 
       account is uniquely told, as much from the captive's 
       perspective as from the American's. Upon returning to New 
       York, Morrell exhibited Dako as a 'cannibal' in wildly 
       popular shows performed on Broadway and along the East 
       Coast. The proceeds helped fund a return voyage to the 
       South Pacific--the captain hoping to establish trade with 
       Dako's assistance, and Dako seizing his only chance to 
       return home to his unmapped island. Supported by rich, 
       newly found archives, this wide-ranging volume traces the 
       voyage to its extraordinary ends and en route decrypts 
       Morrell's ambiguous character, the mythic qualities of 
       Dako's life, and the two men's infusion into American 
       literature--Dako inspired Melville's Queequeg, for 
       example. The encounters confound indigenous peoples and 
       Americans alike as both puzzle over what it is to be truly
       human and alive"--|cProvided by publisher.
