Last one. Interesting descriptions of landscapes, flora, and fauna. Also a window into how the Seri were viewed at the time. Tragically, the Seri were forcibly removed from the island in 1850 and their children given to others. Later the island was turned into a preserve, and finally the island was given back to the Seri in the 1970s.
