Since the early 1900s; Monterey was known for its fishing; mostly for salmon and the abalone that was plentiful in Monterey Bay. The migration of the Sicilian Italian community is credited for reaping what was called the “Silver Harvest.†The Silver Harvest is the name that was given to the fishing of sardines in Monterey; which mostly was done by the Sicilian Italians who established the working fabric in the sardine industry for nearly five decades. Most of that generation is gone; and only a few are memorialized in books. It is this author’s attempt to capture the working class that made Monterey the “Sardine Capital of the World.â€

He was able to keep his crew from starving up in the Arctic ice and although he didn't find Franklin he wrote and made sketches of the areas which were so important for later explorations. He almost got to the northwest Passage but his ship was destroyed by being iced in. Kane wrote the book in the late 1850s and illustrated it with engravings made from his sketches. The book is very readable and at times even amusing.
