Spirit of the Great Auk, The (CD)

Price: $14.95
Item Number: CD-8004
This story written by Jay O'Callahan lets you experience the plight of the ocean. In "The Spirit of the Great Auk", he recreates Dick Wheeler's 1500 mile kayak voyage from Newfoundland to Buzzards Bay. In a blend of straightforward narrative and classic O'Callahan embroidery, we hear the story of Dick Wheeler, the "great auk man," who traveled the migratory route of that seabird, hunted to extinction by 1844, in a 17-foot kayak. O'Callahan recounts a story of the incredible daring of one man and the unthinkable loss to us all as our wildlife disappears from the earth. With classic fervor and enthusiasm, O'Callahan makes us care immensely about Dick Wheeler, the outcome of his journey and the bird that is gone forever. Story on CD.
