About This Item

A non-fiction book about the menhaden, a fish crucial to the food chain of the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and integral with American history from the time of the Pilgrims to the present day.

(By the 1870s, menhaden replaced whales as a principal source of fish oil for commercial use.) 8vo clothbound hardcover in dust jacket. 265 pp., with notes and index.
