Description: Quallah Battoo, Paperback by Knapp, Ronald Stephen, ISBN 1548736503, ISBN-13 9781548736507, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Quallah Battoo recounts the true story of the 1831 attack by “ruthless Sumatran pirates” on the Salem pepper ship Friendship, commanded by the able Captain Charles Moses Endicott. The brutal murder of Americans takes place in Sumatra, a dangerous island of savage traders and rajas, where only the bravest captains dare to venture. Word of the death of Americans prompts President Andrew Jackson to send the Potomac on its maiden voyage to deliver justice and show America’s naval power to the world. Captain Endicott’s travels awaken the yearnings of Adi, a fourteen-year-old Malay, who is touched by the pawang Wati, whose magic rivals the all-powerful rajas that rule the island. Adi’s love of a mysterious orphan, “the devil girl,” complicates his love for his parents, his loyalties to his people and his dreams of a future beyond the horizon. But how will this native boy survive this violent clash of cultures?
