Ambassador to the Penguins, A Naturalist's Year Aboard a Yankee Whaleship

BIOGRAPHY/MEMOIR •  2003 •  HARD COVER  • 353 PAGES

Robert Cushman Murphy's much loved 1947 Logbook for Grace, as resurrected, annotated and amplified by his granddaughter. Drawing from the family archives, Ellie Mathews includes along with her narrative a selection of Cushman Murphy's original photographs. Murphy, a budding ornithologist with a new wife back home, sailed aboard the brig Daisy in 1912-13, witness to one of the last wind-powered Yankee whalers. His account of his time among the whalers (and wildlife) at South Georgia is classic. His granddaughter quotes extensively from the original.  (ANT200, $29.95)
