==Other historical slave narratives== As slavery has been practiced all over the world for millennia, some narratives cover places and times other than these main two. One example is the account given by [[John R. Jewitt]], an English [[armourer]] enslaved for years by [[Maquinna]] of the [[Nuu-chah-nulth people|Nootka]] people in the [[Pacific Northwest]]. The ''[[Canadian Encyclopedia]]'' calls his memoir a "classic of captivity literature"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.canadianencyclopedia.ca/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&ArticleId=A0004133|title=Jewitt, John Rodgers<!-- Bot generated title -->|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090409132245/http://www.canadianencyclopedia.ca/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&ArticleId=A0004133|archive-date=April 9, 2009}}</ref> and it is a rich source of information about the [[indigenous people]] of [[Vancouver Island]]. *''Narrative of the Adventures and Sufferings of John R. Jewitt, only survivor of the crew of the ship Boston, during a captivity of nearly three years among the savages of Nootka Sound: with an account of the manners, mode of living, and religious opinions of the natives.''

A manuscript copy of it made by a scribe named Omer in 1602 is preserved at the Hacı Selim Ağa Library in [[Üsküdar]], and its text was published in the 20th century. It is regarded as an important primary source about [[slavery in Malta]].<ref name="cassar2004">{{cite journal |last1=Cassar |first1=Carmel |title=Between Africa and Europe : corsairing activities and the Order of St John in Malta |journal=Terzo Convegno Storico Internazionale: Corsari, schiavi, riscatti tra Liguria e Nord Africa nei secoli XVI e XVII |date=2004 |pages=73–116 |url=https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/42313 |location=[[Ceriale]]}}</ref>
