I’d be interested in what information you have regarding the above statement. I remember him spending time aboard a Cutter in Alaska back in the early 80’s as he researched that book. It’s been my belief that he was the actual author of some of my favorites such as Chesapeake, Texas, Space and Alaska. Those books aren’t for everyone because the details can get tedious. I learned a lot from them. I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’d just like to know what you’re talking about.
