| Description | This folder contains five letters from Captain Richard Crawshay to Frederick Smith. The first letter was written from Tierra del Fuego, where Crawshay was collecting animal and bird specimens. The subsequent letters date from over two years later, after Crawshay has returned to Britain, and is staying with his brother in Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire. The letters mostly relate to Crawshay's book 'The Birds of Tierra del Fuego', and him assisting Smith's interest in the 'Ona' tribe [Selk'nam indigenous people] of Patagonia. |
