This book tells an unusual true story. In 1830 a young Yámana Indian was taken hostage by the English captain Robert Fitz-Roy. It was taken from the canals of southern Chile to London. They called him Jemmy Button, and in England he learned to live like English and was educated in the Christian religion. After a time, Fitz-Roy decided that Jemmy should return to his homeland.
