| The Catalpa Expedition Z. W. Pease (G. S. Anthony, 1897) The first book on the rescue, it was published by Captain Anthony and written by a journalist friend. Hesperian Press has just released (2002) a fine reprint of this book. The Emerald Whaler W. J. Laubenstein (Andre Deutsch, 1961) A somewhat fictional account of events, it is nevertheless a great read. See also Fact or Fiction page on this website. Fremantle Mission Séan Ó Lúing (Anvil Books, 1965) An excellent account. Reprinted as The Catalpa Rescue in 1985, also by Anvil Race for the Catalpa George Russo. (Lynward Enterprises, 1986) |
