Synopsis
In 1815, twelve American sailors were shipwrecked on the coast of North Africa and thrust into a harrowing three-month journey across the Sahara. Facing starvation, dehydration, hostile tribes, and plagues, they endured unimaginable hardships. This account details their desperate struggle for survival, their encounters with ancient cities and hidden oases, and the unlikely bond formed between a Muslim trader and an American captain, a friendship tested by the harsh desert and a desperate plan for escape.
