Description:A story involving the real person who inspired Jack London's The Sea-Wolf, Roar of the Sea is the swashbuckling narrative of treachery on the high seas, involving pirates, fur seals, competing governments, and near war.Over a century ago, treachery in Alaska's Bering Sea twice brought the world to the brink of war. The US seized Canadian vessels, Great Britain positioned warships to strike the US, and Americans killed Japanese pirates on US soil, all because of the fur seals that crowded onto the tiny Pribilof Islands.The herd's population plummeted while notorious seafarers like Alex MacLean poached indiscriminately. Enter an unlikely crusader to defend the seals: self-taught artist and naturalist Henry Wood Elliott, whose zeal and love for the sea creatures urged him to go against all odds and take on giants of the sea. And yet as impossible as it seemed for him to win, Elliott helped expose corruption and set the course for the modern wildlife protections that the world grapples with today.Carefully written and researched, Roar of the Sea reveals the incredible, never-before-told history of how one lone activist existing in the margins prevailed against national governments and corporate interests in the name of wildlife conservation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
