Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating journey into the world of marine mammals, focusing specifically on the fascinating California Gray Whale. The author, a seasoned seafarer, brings to life the creatures' habits, migrations, and unique characteristics, drawing upon his firsthand experience as a whaling captain. Delving into the historical context of the American whale fishery, the book vividly portrays the thrilling, yet dangerous, hunt for these magnificent creatures, contrasting the methods of the industrialized whaling industry with the traditional techniques of the Native American tribes of the North-West Coast. Beyond a simple account of the whaling industry, the book explores the intelligence and complex social structures of these creatures, highlighting the California Gray Whale's remarkable resilience and adaptability in the face of human intrusion. The author's intimate knowledge of these creatures, gleaned from years of observation, provides invaluable insights into the natural history of the California Gray Whale, offering a glimpse into a world that continues to intrigue and inspire.

San Francisco: Carmany, 1874. I've spoken before about this book. It's one of my favorites. In writing about the natural history of these creatures, and in describing with complete accuracy and lack of moral judgment (though his personal feelings are implicit) the brutal slaughter involved in the industrial harvest of these animals, Scammon is every bit as eloquent as Melville. Charles M. Scammon (Melville was his middle name!) was a whaling captain turned naturalist. He wrote with authority, both of whaling history and the natural history of whales. With its skillfully executed single and double-page lithographs of the major species, this is one of the most dramatic and attractive American whaling books. The frontispiece, "Whaling Scene in the California Lagoons" makes for quite an impressive beginning. Forster 713. Jenkins p. 143. Bound in green cloth as issued, with gold cover design and spine lettering. The backstrip has been professionally laid down.
