Alexander R. Brash, author of "A Whaler at Twilight: A true account of Whaling and Redemption in the South Pacific." Brash's great-great grandfather fell on hard times and took to drinking, and ultimately chose to join a whaling expedition in the 1840s. He wrote a detailed account of his experiences that was shown to Brash a few years ago. This book is based on that journal as well as on the author's extensive research into the whaling industry in this period of time.
