Book Overview

""A Statement Submitted In Re The Fur-Seal Herd Of Alaska To The House Committee On Expenditures In The Department Of Commerce"" is a historical document written by Henry Wood Elliott in 1912. The book provides a detailed account of the fur-seal herd of Alaska and the efforts to protect it from overhunting and extinction. Elliott was a naturalist and conservationist who worked for the US government, and his statement was submitted to the House Committee on Expenditures in the Department of Commerce as part of a larger investigation into the management of the fur-seal industry. In the book, Elliott describes the biology and behavior of the fur seals, as well as the history of their exploitation by humans. He argues that the government should take a more active role in protecting the herd and regulating the fur trade, and provides recommendations for how this could be done.
