The True Adventure of Daniel Hall

For anyone who loves adventure tales, historical stories, or both, here is the incredible true story of a boy who left home at the age of 14 on a whaling voyage—and found more excitement and danger on his trip than most people see in a lifetime. From a bustling New Bedford port to the bleak Siberian wilderness, Diane Stanley traces the path of a young adventurer in a vanished world. Full-color illustrations.
