You would enjoy the Charlie Brower book then. I believe he ran the company whaling station in Barrow.
I did
Th beginning was extremely interesting, Charels Brower as a teen, living on the top side of a ship , sailing up the South American coast to SanFrancisco while the below deck burned and smouldered........they didnt stop untill docked, and collected the insurance when it all burned in port....
His descriptions of traveling through NW Ak in the 1880's and his doings and trade with Point Hopes madman Atanghara,............I'd read it again
Ernest 'Tiger' Burch wrote several books on this area, with a [bleep] of personal accounts, my personal favorites.

I see Amazon list 4 books by Ernest Burch Jr. Which one should I order first?
