| Publisher Description: This is the black & white version of this book. Photos inside and all content is identical to the color edition except they are in b & w to make the book more affordable. These stories in this second book of The Chesapeake are written by folks who have lived a combined total of nearly two centuries in the region. Experts on fishing, story telling, sailing, building boats and yachts as a well as a Naval aviator who won WWII single-handedly, there are also yarns about floating islands and tips on living from the Country Philosopher. Also included are a few from a fellow who graduated from Georgetown University during the Great Depression and, while operating his own farm near Point Lookout, began the first cooperative effort with watermen and farms in the Chesapeake region. The authentic is mixed with the possible and drizzled with the improbable. Join Fred McCoy, Jack Rue, Mark Robbins, Mel Brokenshire, Vi Englund, Rich Johnson, Stephen Gore Uhler, Joey Greenwell, Pepper Langley, Alan Brylawski and other great writers of The Chesapeake to explore the land of the flask, the fiddle and the dark roasted possum Learn the art of lucky fishing |
