"In
the North, Mike Healy
is better known
than the President
of the United States."

THE
ODYSSEY OF CAPTAIN HEALY
This
is the remarkable story of one of the US Coast Guard's most celebrated
officers. The turbulent story of an African-American, Healy,
an ex-slave, represented law and order on the Alaska frontier.
Patrolling the Arctic, Healy confronted Hell Ships and shanghaied
sailors. He out ran rum-runners, poachers and killers. But personal
demons would prove to be Captain Healy's most formidable challenge.
"A prime
example of
just how fascinating
history can be when told well".
