E-text prepared by Roger Frank and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"All the Brothers Were Valiant" by Ben Ames Williams is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set in the world of whaling, exploring themes of brotherhood, loss, and honor as it follows Joel Shore and his siblings who are involved in the whaling industry. The story intricately weaves the threads of family dynamics against the backdrop of the harsh realities of life at sea and the perils associated with it. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Joel Shore and the House of Shore, a family steeped in whaling tradition. The narrative begins with a history of their ancestral home, the legacy of Joel’s valiant brothers, and a sense of melancholia stemming from the loss of his brother Mark, who has gone missing at sea. Joel reads through the family’s logbook filled with entries detailing the tragic fates of his siblings, highlighted by the poignant line, "All the brothers were valiant." As he reflects on the family's legacy, readers are drawn into a world fraught with danger and adventure, laying a rich foundation for the unfolding drama of Joel’s determination to find Mark, setting the stage for themes of loyalty, struggle, and the pursuit of honor in the face of grief and uncertainty.
