Ashton’s Memorial

An history of the strange adventures, and signal deliverances, of Mr. Philip Ashton

Boston, N.E. Printed for Samuel Gerrish, Cornhill, 1725. John Barnard from Philip Ashton’s mouth. Evans TCP / OTA N02186. James Castaway kept these pages. He did not walk that shore.

The Trees Close, exhibit still for Legend 02.

Keeper note

I kept these pages. I did not walk that shore. A Marblehead fisherman told this to his minister in 1725 so the voice would not vanish. I will not let it vanish here. What follows is his I. Not mine. Roatán is not this island. Not Robinson Crusoe.
