I would like to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to the following people: To my fellow writer and fellow Washingtonian Ron Wanttaja for his help with nautical jargon, details, and technicalities; to Michael Dyer, librarian at the Kendall Institute, New Bedford Whaling Museum, for his expert advice on whaling and for his encouragement to “go with it”; and finally to Ann Day at the Tuzzy Consortium Library, Ilisagvik College, in Barrow, Alaska, for providing me with hard-to-find information on pre-contact Inupiat peoples. All opinions expressed in this book are solely mine. If there are any remaining errors, they are my responsibility alone, as to write a story of this nature it often becomes necessary to perform a balancing act between fact and fiction.
