''The Early History of the Fur Seals: The Beasts of the Sea'' is a historical account of the fur seal trade and its impact on the natural environment. Written by George William Steller and originally published in 1899, the book provides a detailed overview of the history of fur seal hunting, from its beginnings in the 18th century to its peak in the mid-19th century.Steller, a naturalist and explorer, draws on his own experiences studying the fur seals in the Aleutian Islands and the Bering Sea, as well as on the accounts of other explorers and traders who encountered these animals. He describes the behavior and biology of the fur seals, their habitats, and their importance to the indigenous peoples who hunted them for food and clothing.The book also delves into the economic and political factors that drove the fur seal trade, including the competition between Russia and the United States for control of the region. Steller discusses the devastating effects of overhunting on the fur seal population and the efforts to regulate the trade through international treaties and conservation measures.Overall, ''The Early History of the Fur Seals: The Beasts of the Sea'' is a fascinating and informative account of a little-known chapter in the history of global commerce and environmental conservation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
