The Behring Sea Controversy

By Stephen Berrien Stanton

Book Overview

""The Behring Sea Controversy"" by Stephen Berrien Stanton is a historical account of the conflict between the United States and Great Britain over the sealing industry in the Behring Sea during the late 19th century. The book provides a detailed analysis of the legal and diplomatic aspects of the dispute, including the arguments put forth by both sides and the eventual resolution through arbitration. The author also delves into the economic and environmental impact of the sealing industry on the region and its inhabitants, as well as the cultural significance of seals to the native populations. Drawing on primary sources such as government documents, personal correspondence, and contemporary newspaper articles, Stanton paints a vivid picture of the complex and often contentious negotiations that ultimately shaped the future of the Behring Sea and its wildlife. This book will appeal to historians, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the intersection of international law, environmental conservation, and indigenous rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
