""A Year in China: And a Narrative of Capture and Imprisonment, When Homeward Bound, on Board the Rebel Pirate Florida"" is a memoir written by Martha Noyes Williams and published in 1864. The book chronicles Williams' experiences while living in China for a year, including her observations of Chinese culture, customs, and daily life. However, the book's focus shifts dramatically when Williams and her family board the Confederate pirate ship Florida on their journey home. The ship is captured by Union forces and Williams and her family are taken prisoner, spending several months in confinement. Williams recounts the conditions of their imprisonment, the interactions with their captors, and the eventual release and return home. The book is notable for its detailed descriptions of life in China during the mid-19th century and its unique perspective on the American Civil War from the viewpoint of a civilian prisoner.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
