“The Female American; Or The Adventures of Unca Eliza Winkfield, Written by Herself in Two Volumes” was anonymously published under the pseudonym Unca Eliza Winkfield in 1767. Unca Eliza, a half-Native American and half-English woman, is shipwrecked on an island. Discovering the remnants of past civilization, Unca Eliza utilizes the tools she finds and her extensive knowledge (derived from her experience with both the English and Native Americans) to survive the island and immanent encounters with indigenous peoples. This audiobook is a collaborative project by graduate students in the English Department at the University of Oregon. - Summary by Kathleen Gekiere (4 hr 43 min)
