I am really enjoying this audiobook, both for the content and the reading. I love the sound and style of the narrator's voice and I'd bet that if she is a mother or teacher, her children love being read to! Thank you LibraVox and Sue Anderson!
Listening for the first time several months after you, but I read your comment and wanted to not only agree but comment on the Sue's inflection while reading. It's wonderful and makes not only her children, but adult strangers take notice, enjoy, and want to hear more of whatever Sue is reading! I think I'd want to hear more if she was just reading a phone book aloud! lol

Story grabbed attention from the start; and it's 200 years old! To be a good narrator keep pace, clearly enunciate, be interested in the material. The authors intended people, both men and women to read their works and enjoy them.
I feel very few people have read a book of this size out loud...given we also have no idea the time frame she did it in. So given that I think her pace and animation is pretty good and very consistent thru out.
It really baffles me that people are complaining about a woman reading this book or how she reads it!!!! If it's that bothersome... why don't you just pick a book up and read it yourself .... Wait that's too much like right... Lazy bums rather complain 🤷♀️🤷♀️
I remember many years ago, in my 20s, coming across a pdf or something online, of this amazing story… and, after smoking a little bit of weed, staying up all night reading it. I couldn’t stop until I’d read the entire thing. It absolutely amazed me. Never forgot this. Not I’m back to listen to it again as a 41 year old, while doing light housework. Lol. It’s so good and very fascinating! One day I have to visit Nootka Sound(Sorry if that’s an outdated name for that place).
I seem to be a bit behind the others here in discovering this audiobook. Nonetheless, I'm thoroughly enjoying it. I love to read and spend much time doing so, but was very interested in this story when I saw the title, so took a chance on being read to for a change. I'm so glad I did! I'm 53, and no one has read to me since my mother when I was a child, or my children when they were learning, so thank you so much, Sue. You've been a genuine blessing to me and I've had a wonderful time listening to you ply your talent for us. God bless you!
Excellent reading of a fascinating story, a big thank you to Sue Anderson! I first discovered her talent in her reading of “By Ox Team to California”. She quite obviously takes much interest in her readings and does an excellent job!
I’ve been listening to this as I fall asleep for a couple of weeks. I’ve really enjoyed the story! I’m not sure how I feel about the ending. I don’t want to give it away…
the narrator pauses between every word. That is the way ESL students will mostly speak English but for reasons easily understood. There is likely the dear but erroneous intention to make every word intelligible to every possible listener including the blind, who one gathers have zero problem with audio intelligibility. Fluidity, ie, 'legato' is an enhancement to comprehension and especially expression, not their enemy. The velocity control in settings helps, but a regular expressive delivery would have been just dandy. But great to hear it anyway, thank you.
Is it known whether John Jewitt made it home to England? I checked wikipedia, not much about his later life. He died age 36 in U.S. Also what happened to his fellow captive?
@@robynmarler1951 Not to quibble, but handling the natives correctly was part of his job - knowing what pleased & what offended them, or at least perceiving these when occurring is all part of it. He seemed a good man, it was unfortunate, but he did blunder imo.
Interesting how rigid were minds of the English. The captives seem to have learned the language of their captors. Yet the author has a wife who he sent away. How different were the Frenchmen in eastern Canada who settled with their wives and children. And Scots, demobilized from Fraser's Highlanders after the conquest of Quebec City. Thanks to the French and the Scots many of us who are Metis have spread across Canada.
Well the inmates at the Santa Fe New Mexico prison riot were able to do it with just a shovel 😱😱😱....so I'm sure it was much easier for them to do it with something sharp (I believe it was in 1980)
The reader being a female voice reading 1st person of the character who is a male, doesn't seem significant or something even a Simi intelligent person would be distracted by.👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
I only read* these older anthropology books. The new ones are corrupted with "Political Correctness." In my area, Shishalh, there are still some Knowledge Keepers. Listen to them if you can. This is where you will learn the real true old knowledge. I have gathered much of this, even some of the secret knowledge. I'm not Native but I went out in the forest alone, to live and test some of the knowledge. It's TRUE to the Universe, I found. .. I can communicate with wild animals and I shapeshifted into a Bear. [No drugs] I seem to have the abilities of the Trickster, even though I never aspired to that. .. I'm an engineer. Important --> If a Knowledge Keeper begins to speak, don't interrupt them. Just listen and learn. You will notice that they go into a trance. :: Don't interrupt.
I would have liked to listen to this, but can't stand the narration. I don't understand why they would have a woman, narrate a story about a man. It really makes it seem not believable, sorry to say.
@@deborahdean8867 Maybe it is a good story, but why have a woman, pretend to be a man ? Why didn't they just get a man, to narrate it ? I've heard some great audio books lately, about a womans' predicament. And not narrated by a man.

Yes Sue Anderson is a true talent...very understated and yet still 'earthy'...does that make sense?? Oh well she rocks regardless 😊

I feel this narrator has done an excellent job! Nice timbre and pace. Have you heard voices of other narrators? Robotic and annoying.

Beautifully clear diction - a joy to listen to whilst I’m working, or trying to sleep. Lovely!
This reader is the BEST!! what a wonderful story teller!! My absolute favorite

Thank for telling me. I not bother to listen to it. Women readers are not for me unless very good
Well read! And a great story. Thank you to all involved

Thank you so much for your good work! You are much appreciated

It’s now a tourist area.. not because of this history because of the natural beauty.. look up Tofino British Columbia
Thanks for reading this.
That's beyond any expectations! What an amazing book!!

loved that book. she did wonderfully
Thank you for the audiobook!
Great story! Love the narrator too, i always get excited about a book when i see she is the one narrating! 🙏🙂
I’ve probably listened to Sue read this 5 or so times this past year. And have searched out much else that she reads. Just love her reading that much.
Very interesting story story 🎉 I love it ❤
Thank you! for your excellent narrative of this most interesting journal.
That was amazing. What a great book.
Thank you LibriVox volunteers!
What an adventure!!!!
I’ve been listening to this as I fall asleep for a couple of weeks. I’ve really enjoyed the story! I’m not sure how I feel about the ending. I don’t want to give it away…
Great story just finished listening to hms terror story love these historical adventures,thx for uploading
Thanks for the great story and wonderful narration.
Brilliant - shows how savage these people really were
Interesting to hear what the Nuu-chah-nulth peoples lifestyle was like back then
Thank you for uploading this audiobook!
Thanks for listening!
thank you for the audiobook! i will be able to survive my history class now
this is such a fascinating story - thanks so much !!!!
When I read this book, it was called "White Slaves of the Nootka."
Maybe the original title is not Politicaly Correct enough.
Correct, just not politically. Like much of the things that are true these days.

THANK YOU
Thanks for the great story
I've a friend with disability who volunteers to read books.
Wow. I live in Vancouver and now afraid I'll get my head cut off if go up to Nootka.
Wonderful book and reader!
I like it all
Very interesting. I live in the region and have been to Tahsis a few times.
Very cool!
Its a decent adventure story, not a masterpiece but gets my thumbs up
Excellent stories
I looked up the eclipse on starry night and its off by a few days but it happened super cool.
Proof that truth is stranger than fiction. Fascinating book, and well narrated.
Fascinating
With all due respect… a narrator is EVERYTHING with audiobooks. Unfortunately this particular one doesn’t fit.
Sue Anderson is one of the best, if not the best readers for Librivox
@@martinduchastel547 you spelled Mark Smith wrong lol 😉
Oh my goodness@@martinduchastel547
That was no respect and very undeserved! I appreciate these readers who donate their time and help so many people
Is it known whether John Jewitt made it home to England?
I checked wikipedia, not much about his later life. He died age 36 in U.S.
Also what happened to his fellow captive?
Maquinna must be given credit for a very cunning ambush. Very interesting character, he was.
He had a very cunning plan. . .
This was all avoidable. If the captain had not been triggered about the musket. Just fix the damn gun and give it back to the King - problem solved.
Exactly, Dr Fauci! If you don't want to be brutally slain, just don't make any innocent social mistakes, simple!

How did they cut heads off so easily. I've read that it's not easy
Practice 😉

Probably used Hudson Bay Co. axes. I believe these were the same people who showed up with cedar baskets full of human hands to trade.
That Captain needed to mind his tongue better.
Where did Bible come from? Did I miss that?

I thought the narrator was fantastic!
Definitely would be better with a male narrator.
Should have been a male narrator.

Voice is not the best for keeping my interest. Better for a sleeping pill.

Sounds narrated well, but too quiet for this hearing impaired old man.

They have volunteered, and you haven't
Expand your mind Arthur.
She does have a hard to hear and understand voice. Oddly soft but raspy.
In fact, she has a very boring voice. I won't be listening to this whole thing either. Or maybe its the writing.......
@@deborahdean8867 Maybe it is a good story, but why have a woman, pretend to be a man ? Why didn't they just get a man, to narrate it ? I've heard some great audio books lately, about a womans' predicament. And not narrated by a man.
Insufferable reader. Again, we have a woman reading in first person, the story of man. I gave this 10min and couldn't make it.
Same for me .
56 seconds, ugh.
Woeful
Maybe it's a guy reading, who knows
@@roselee4445 Indeed! Can't be too careful these days.
