Thomas Hughes Jackson, a young man from a wealthy Birkenhead, England, family embarked on a tour of the world at his father's insistence - and expense! When he returned, he penned Voyage 1855, the shortest but most hectic travel book ever written! Jackson's experiences are unique and remarkable. He played billiards with a Javanese Emperor in Indonesia, hunted snipe on a nutmeg plantation in Penang, Malaysia, helped put down an insurrection in Canton, China, and panned for gold in the Australian outback. These and other adventures are recounted in this nicely illustrated volume with charm and brevity.
