Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands (1857) is the
autobiography of Mary Seacole. Recognized for her pioneering
healthcare work for soldiers and citizens around the world, Seacole
was also the first Black Briton to publish an autobiographical
work. Although Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands
underwent editing by an anonymous person, it is a first-person
account of Seacole's experiences during outbreaks of cholera,
malaria, and war. "As I grew into womanhood, I began to indulge
that longing to travel which will never leave me while I have
health and vigour. I was never weary of tracing upon an old map the
route to England; and never followed with my gaze the stately ships
homeward bound without longing to be in them, and see the blue
hills of Jamaica fade into the distance." Adventurous and
energetic, empathetic and kind, Mary Seacole was a pioneering
traveler and healer who saved countless lives and cared for the
sick and dying on both sides of the Atlantic. From her early work
with cholera and malaria patients in the Caribbean to her famous
British Hotel, opened on the outskirts of Sevastopol during the
Crimean War, Seacole served the suffering without regard for her
own health or finances. With a beautifully designed cover and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Mary Seacole's
Wonderful Adventures of Mrs. Seacole in Many Lands is a classic
work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.
