Captain Riley's best-selling account of misadventure and suffering in Northwest Africa (including the shipwreck of his brig Commerce and four-month captivity as a slave) still makes good reading after all these years. It's a very popular, often reprinted, tale first published in 1817 as "An Authentic Narrative of the Loss of the American Brig Commerce."
