About the Author
Everett S. Allen was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts, in 1916. He moved to Martha's Vineyard when he was eight years old. After graduating from Tisbury High School, he attended Tabor Academy and Middlebury College. He was hired as a waterfront reporter by the New Bedford Standard-Times on the day before the hurricane of 1938, which became the subject for his book A Wind to Shake the World. After enlisting in the US Navy, where he served in Europe and participated in D-Day, he returned to the Standard-Times, where he worked until his retirement in 1979. The author of seven books, Allen died in 1990.

Hard Cover. Condition: Fine-. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good-. Illustrated (illustrator). First Edition Stated. The first edition stated, 302 pages, illustrated. "Of the thirty-nine American vessels which sailed into Arctic waters "to chase the blowhead" during the summer of 1871, only seven heeded Eskimo warnings that the season would be unusually short and the winter unusually severe. The rest- thirty-two of the finest whaling vessels in existence, carrying 1200 officers and crewmen- elected to cruise in the treacherous waters off Alaska's Point Barrow. Now suddenly, all thirty-two ships lay helplessly trapped or crushed in gale-driven pack ice. This book tells for the first time the full story of this disaster and the rescue of the shipwrecked victims- a rescue that, incredibly enough, did not result in the loss of a single human life." FINE- HARDCOVER, VERY GOOD- DUST JACKET. Dust jacket protected with a clear plastic acid-free jacket. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Seller Inventory # 022230
