John R. Jewitt
John Rodgers Jewitt (21 May 1783 – 7 January 1821) was an English armourer who entered the historical record with his memoirs about the 28 months he spent as an enslaved captive of Maquinna of the Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) people on what is now the British Columbia Coast. The ''Canadian Encyclopedia'' describes Jewitt as a shrewd observer and his ''Narrative'' as a "classic of captivity literature". The memoir, according to the ''Dictionary of Canadian Biography'', is a major source of information about the indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast. Provided by Wikipedia
