520 _aLogbook For Grace is one of those rare books that are published to the applause and admiration of critics and then unaccountably sink out of sight. It deserves a far better fate. Logbook is the fascinating chronicle, in diary form, of a voyage of one of the last Yankee whaleships in the twilight days of sail. More than that, it is an adventure story, a travelogue, a naturalist's notebook and a charming love story all rolled into one - written, it must be added, by a man whose profession is not writing, although he has written scientific works. Robert Cushman Murphy is a naturalist, one of the world's great authorities on birds. During one of these expeditions, Murphy begins to detail the life, sounds, sights, adversities, struggles, adventures, and survival of the whalers on the whaleship Daisy. Daisy herself, being an out-of-date vessel, takes on a life of her own. Combined with touching notes penned to his recent bride, this book offers something for everyone. -- Amazon.
