Left for Dead Book Talk

Eric Jay Dolin will return to the museum to discuss his newest book, Left For Dead: Shipwreck, Treachery, and Survival at the Edge of the World. This lecture is available in person or via Zoom. Eric will tell the true story of five castaways abandoned on the Falkland Islands during the War of 1812. Dolin will describe their desperate existence during their eighteen-month ordeal in vivid and harrowing detail. Publishers Weekly calls the book, "an edge-of-your-seat adventure", and American Heritage hails Dolin as "one of today’s finest writers about ships and the sea.”
