Index. 23p b/w illus - maps, reproductions, photos. HISTORY. Allen "follows the Quakers' departure from Plymouth, their arrival in Old Dartmouth, and their domination of the town that eventually became New Bedford. Through diaries, letters, and newspaper accounts of the period, Allen relates how these 'children of the light' lived and founded an enormously lucrative industry and elevated it to an almost holy activity ordained by God for the enrichment of the 'chosen' - the birthright members of the New Bedford Society of Friends. Allen traces the fortunes of these men through the golden age of whaling to the catastrophe of 1871, from which New Bedford never fully recovered. Richly informative on every aspect of whaling and shiphandling, almost novelistic in its evocations of life in New Bedford, on shipboard, and in the Arctic, CHILDREN OF THE LIFGHT forms a uniquely dramatic chapter in the literature of America's seafaring past.

Allen sets the record straight and restores the British archaeologist Frank Calvert to his rightful place in the story of the identification and excavation of the city of Priam. Clavert had lived in the Troad and, excvating there for fifteen years before Schlieman arrived, learned the local topography and stratigraphy. He was the first archaeologist to test the hypothesis that the mound of Hisarlik would be a good place to look for the Troy of Hector and Helen. The thankless Schliemann stole Calvert's ideas, exploited his knowledge and advice, and finally, by successfully foisting upon an impressionable and unsuspecting world his claim to be the man who first unearthed the walls of Troy, stole Calvert's glory and subjected Clavert, his benefactor, to the century of oblivion from which Susan Heuck Allen has now rescued him. ; 9-1/2" Tall; 409 pages.

Index. 23p b/w illus - maps, reproductions, photos. HISTORY. Allen "follows the Quakers' departure from Plymouth, their arrival in Old Dartmouth, and their domination of the town that eventually became New Bedford. Through diaries, letters, and newspaper accounts of the period, Allen relates how these 'children of the light' lived and founded an enormously lucrative industry and elevated it to an almost holy activity ordained by God for the enrichment of the 'chosen' - the birthright members of the New Bedford Society of Friends. Allen traces the fortunes of these men through the golden age of whaling to the catastrophe of 1871, from which New Bedford never fully recovered. Richly informative on every aspect of whaling and shiphandling, almost novelistic in its evocations of life in New Bedford, on shipboard, and in the Arctic, CHILDREN OF THE LIFGHT forms a uniquely dramatic chapter in the literature of America's seafaring past.

Allen sets the record straight and restores the British archaeologist Frank Calvert to his rightful place in the story of the identification and excavation of the city of Priam. Clavert had lived in the Troad and, excvating there for fifteen years before Schlieman arrived, learned the local topography and stratigraphy. He was the first archaeologist to test the hypothesis that the mound of Hisarlik would be a good place to look for the Troy of Hector and Helen. The thankless Schliemann stole Calvert's ideas, exploited his knowledge and advice, and finally, by successfully foisting upon an impressionable and unsuspecting world his claim to be the man who first unearthed the walls of Troy, stole Calvert's glory and subjected Clavert, his benefactor, to the century of oblivion from which Susan Heuck Allen has now rescued him. ; 9-1/2" Tall; 409 pages.
