An Inside Look at Whaling From a Little Girl's Eye.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I was so amazed at the writing ability and language skills of a very young child. Laura Jernegan's account of her three years aboard a whaling vessel kept me reading. I couldn't put it down! Nestled among her diary notes was useful and interesting information regarding the capture of whales, equipment used, and the manufacture of whale and sperm oil aboard the ship. Equally as interesting was her acount of what the family had to eat,the weather, and playtime activities of her brother and herself. I can't wait to read the other eleven books in the set!
