Citizen: An American Boy's Early Manhood Aboard a Sag Harbor Whale-Ship Chasing Delirium and Death Around the World, 1843-1849; Being the Story of Erastus Bill, Who Lived to Tell It
The journal entries of my friend’s great great great grandpa. It was entertaining. Not something I would ever pick up, but I learned a lot about whaling! Cool to read while in the “sandwich islands.”
The exciting story of a young boy as he works onboard a whaling ship in the mid 1800's. The prose is simply written, quickly read, and thoroughly enjoyed.
