The Northern Mariner / Le marin du nord There are so many good things about this book it is hard to wrap it up.Earle weaves together a history of numerous and complex moving parts that include diplomats and statesmen alongside naval officers and fishermen while also bringing in natural scientist and industry leaders, all while bridging the Atlantic borderlands with Americans, Canadians, and British actors.It's not an economic history of the fisheries (thankfully) nor a labour history.It has fair foundations in environmental history, but its greatest contribution is to diplomatic history and the history of American national identity in the Early Republic.It would be an excellent addition to any reading list for courses on US foreign policy before the American Civil War.It is, I think, the best answer we've seen to why historians need to pay more attention to fisheries history.
