Index
One of the most important books ever written about whaling. -- William M. Fowler, Jr., Log of Mystic Seaport
Robert Lloyd Webb is the curator at the Maine Maritime Museum in Bath, Maine.
Solid scholarship and showy style. On the Northwest is a
substantial and readable addition to the published history of
whaling ... Webb has written a superior, robust work of whaling
scholarship that also provides an unusual slant on regional
history.
*International Journal of Maritime History*
Extremely able and well-written.
*The Beaver*
