Book summary

During the 19th and 20th centuries, when people came to realize how much money could be made from hunting whales, the species was nearly hunted into extinction. This history of whale hunting is based on the journals and letters of many young men who participated in those hunts. Illustrated with archival photographs, engravings, and prints.
