His first two novels,&nbsp;<em>Square-Rigged<\/em>&nbsp;(1929) and&nbsp;<em>Fisherman 28<\/em>&nbsp;(1930), are based on his experience sailing from San Francisco to the Bering Sea. After leaving his position as a writing instructor at Stanford University, he and his wife, Sasha (Kashevaroff), the daughter of a Russian Orthodox bishop in Juneau, settled in Carmel, California. In the early 1930s they became members of a Monterey intellectual circle that included his former student, Ritchie Lovejoy (who married Sasha&#8217;s sister, Natalya), Carol and John Steinbeck, Joseph Campbell, and Edward F. Ricketts. Calvin described a trip that he and Sasha took in a seventeen-foot canoe from Tacoma up the inland passage to Juneau in an article published in the July 1933 issue of&nbsp;<em>National Geographic<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In the summer of 1932, Ricketts and Campbell sailed with the Calvins on their thirty-three-foot boat, the&nbsp;<em>Grampus<\/em>, from Tacoma to Juneau on a marine specimen-collecting trip for a long-term project. Calvin collaborated on the literary aspects of the text and took photographs for&nbsp;<em>Between Pacific Tides <\/em>(1939), coauthored by Ricketts and Calvin, a classic work in ecology that achieved five editions by 1985, including those revised by Joel W. Hedgpeth and David W. Williams. In the mid-1930s the Calvins moved to Alaska, where Calvin wrote<em>&nbsp;Sitka<\/em> (1936), a history of that Russian settlement in Alaska, ran a printing business, and became an advocate of conservation and wilderness preservation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 80px\"><em>Between Pacific Tides<\/em> (1939)<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 160px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.org\/details\/betweenpacificti00rick\">Archive.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>keywords: white, male, Alaska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Kenneth A.
