	Chapter X. Darwin, Charles Robert. 1909-14. The Voyage of the Beagle. The Harvard Classics
		Jemmy Button was a universal favourite, but likewise passionate; the expression of his face at once showed his nice disposition.
		Jemmy was short, thick, and fat, but vain of his personal appearance; he used always to wear gloves, his hair was neatly cut, and he was distressed if his well-polished shoes were dirtied.
		Jemmy was now in a district well known to him, and guided the boats to a quiet pretty cove named Woollya, surrounded by islets, every one of which and every point had its proper native name.

	Jemmy Button
		Jemmy Button was paid for with a mother of pearl button, hence his name.
		Darwin was appalled at Jemmy's resistance to returning to England, and preferred to relate that to the presence of his "young and nice looking wife", Lassaweea.
		It appears, however, that he and the others had taught their families some English and he was happy and healthier, given the disease and diet to which he had been exposed away from home.

	Jemmy Button - La Blinda Rosada - Fundación de Poetas
		Así fue como Jemmy Button, salvaje canoero, conoció las mañanas brumosas sobre el Támesis, ciertos placeres cortesanos, el buen comer y el mejor sexo de las cortesanas, los placeres mentidos de una burguesía incipiente, los inútiles cubiertos, y hasta una lengua que le sirviera para algo.
		Jemmy, bien vestido y peinado para la ocasión, volvió a Tierra del Fuego con el propósito ajeno de educar a sus paisanos, de inculcarles una tradición cultural que había demostrado ser tan abierta, justa y comprensiva al punto de equiparar su humanidad al brillo del botón de una chaqueta.
		Jemmy Button, sin quererlo, fundó las bases de la verdadera poesía latinoamericana, tantas veces amenazada, confundida, subestimada, acosada, transculturizada.

		The second is to gain an appreciation of the courage and fortitude of a people who had survived for thousands of years in one of the most inhospitable regions of the planet, but who had been judged by many Europeans as the most degraded human beings in the entire world.
		Homage to the Yahgans focuses on the personality and life of a Yahgan called "Jemmy Button" who was taken to England in 1831 by Captain Fitz-Roy and returned to his homeland two years later during Fitz-Roy's second expedition, in the company of Charles Darwin.

	SAVAGE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		This is a story of genocide and man’s inhumanity to man. The destruction of the Tasmanians is a well-known example of the effects of “civilisation” upon the “savage”; the Yahgans of Tierra del Fuego met the same fate but their case is not so publicised.
		In 1830 a Yahgan was bought from his uncle for the price of a pearl button and named Jemmy Button.
		Jemmy was the ultimate “noble savage” perhaps, and a symbol of the British Empire’s rabid desire to conquer and convert.

		Jemmy recognised the stentorian voice of one of his brothers at a prodigious distance.
		He says that they are all inhabitants of fresh-water; this is a beautiful example of the results obtainable through Professor Ehrenberg's microscopic researches; for Jemmy Button told me that it is always collected at the bottoms of mountain-brooks.

		"[Jemmy] was merry and often laughed, and was remarkably sympathetic with any one in pain: when the water was rough, I was often a little sea-sick, and he used to come to me and say in a plaintive voice, `Poor, poor fellow!'" Darwin noted the Fuegians aptitude for foreign languages and their excellent eyesight.
		Jemmy told of more stealing, but otherwise they were unharmed.
		When Jemmy reached the shore, he lighted a signal fire, and the smoke curled up, bidding us a last and long farewell, as the ship stood her course into the open sea (1: 244-5).

		Jemmy Button werd niet het lichtende voorbeeld, maar paste zich gelijk aan aan zijn stam.
		Later, nadat een groep missionarissen tussen twee vechtende stammen waren verzeild geraakt en om waren gekomen, werd Jemmy Button als leider van een van de stammen opnieuw versleept, dit maal naar de Falkland eilanden om voor het gerecht te komen en uiteindelijk vrijgesproken te worden.

	The Darwin Conspiracy by John Darnton, reviewed by Deane Rink
		The voyage of the Beagle is re-imagined, and Darwin’s relationships with the troubled Captain Fitzroy, with the ship’s surgeon Robert McCormick, and with the repatriated Fuegian Jemmy Button, are depicted.
		Button was a young Fuegian who had been brought to London years earlier, and was being returned to his own people.
		Through Button’s experiences, Darwin comes to see that the notion of the noble savage promoted by Jean-Jacques Rousseau is a romantic fiction.

		The most famous of the four indigenous men was 16-year-old Jemmy Button (his name derived from the fact that we was bought from the tribe's leader for a box of buttons).
		As the Beagle sailed, Darwin and Jemmy Button spent a lot of time together, and Darwin was impressed by the latter's intelligence and adaptability and the speed with which he learned English.
		When he arrived in England, Jemmy sported British threads, learned English customs and was introduced to the king and queen.

		The Beagle is in the Tierra del Fuego for the purpose of charting the coast, determining the navigability of its waters, and recording marine measurements of various kinds.
		On ship the two boys become friends, and Jack's growing relationship with Button on shipboard, then in London, and then upon their return to the Tierra del Fuego, and even afterwards, intertwines his humanity with that of Button.
		For in reality this novel is like the fictitious memories of Guevara, but these fictitious memories enter a real story, the story of Jemmy Button, his companion in the adventures of his youth.

	Der Mann, der für einen Knopf verkauft wurde. Die unglaubliche Geschichte des Jemmy Button
		Der Mann, der für einen Knopf verkauft wurde, hieß Jemmy Button.
		Die Geschichte von Jemmy Button erscheint in deutscher Übersetzung nur etwa 3 Jahre nach der englischen Erstausgabe, offenbar hat der Verlag R&L auch Gefallen an diesem außergewöhnlichen Buch gefunden.Diese sehr präzise recherchierte Episode aus der langen Geschichte des Zusammentreffens zwischen angeblich Wilden und eingebildeten Zivilisierten liest sich spannend,unterhaltsam und lehrreich.
		Es ist zu wünschen, daß dieses Buch viele Leser findet, denn dieses Buches ist auch ein Appell an Toleranz und die Akzeptanz von Menschen, die auf den ersten und vielleicht auch noch auf den zweiten Blick,etwas anders scheinen als Europäer.

		En 1830, un joven indígena de Tierra del Fuego fue embarcado en el Beagle para viajar a Londres, donde, además de convertirse en una atracción para la aristocracia y ser recibido por los reyes, sería tomado como objeto de estudio y sería "culturizado" bajo el nombre de Jemmy Button.
		La frenología, el estudio de los contornos del cráneo, que en el siglo XIX vivía su momento de esplendor, reveló que Jemmy Button tenía "una predisposición al combate y la destrucción".
