The stories of the Lamalerans themselves are even more gripping--from a young orphaned whaler waiting for his big break to an aging legendary harpooner struggling to understand his son’s resistance to the traditional way of life. They bravely stand up to the forces of modernization, largely refusing modern technology that would make the hunts easier and far less dangerous, and relying on bartering and gift-giving instead of paper currency. They hold on to the ways of their ancestors, believing that their tradition--however inconvenient--contains their essence, and that by giving it up, they may lose what it means for them to live.

Clark has a graceful, almost poetic writing style, and his vivid portrait of the Lamalerans and their way of life evokes in the reader a stirring image of a lost world, an ancient society that has somehow stayed virtually untouched by the march of time...until now."-- David Pitt, Booklist The best stretch for the Hartford Whalers came over two seasons, from 1985 to 1987. The Whalers won a playoff series for the first and only time in franchise history in 1986, when they swept the Quebec Nordiques in the Adams Division semifinals before losing in seven games to the Montreal Canadiens in the Adams Division finals. On March 4, 1991, Johnston traded star center and longtime captain Ron Francis, Ulf Samuelsson and Grant Jennings to the Pittsburgh Penguins for John Cullen, Zarley Zalapski and Jeff Parker. Hartford owner Richard Gordon had a dispute with Francis and forced the trade.
From what I know of early modern history, in the first few centuries after the discovery of the New World there was a distinct literary genre of missionaries who acted as proto-anthropologists by narrating the life and customs of native peoples. After the missionaries came the real anthropologists and then, more recently, the activists. It's brilliantly written, but it is clever how everyone and everything in the story evolves; this is all about time and how it's running out. I appreciate how this book was written so that it is perfectly toned to early teen awareness, understanding and experience of the world today. It doesn't answer the questions of how to avoid it but instead examines how our actions affect the world around us, and we have to keep making good decisions and thinking about how our choices can change our world.

[3]It's worth pointing out that the reason the Hartford Whalers ever even came to be was because the New England Whalers were a pretty decent franchise. Peter Good Obituary (1942 - 2023) - Hartford, CT - Hartford Courant". Legacy.com . Retrieved May 7, 2023. For the most part, I concur; this is a gorgeously told story by a master craftsman, but I would argue that the story itself, and most important the characters in the story are clearly what inspire the beautiful writing. This is a human story - a story about humans navigating the world around them - navigating relationships, family, expectations, traditions, opportunities, social judgements, aspirations, and change. Cullen scored 39 goals in 109 games with the Whalers. Zalapski was a minus-54 in 229 games with the Whalers. And Parker only played four games in Hartford before suffering career-ending concussions and knee injuries. New Ownership Ushers in Final Hartford Years
