Publisher: Cornell Maritime Press/Tidewater Publishers
ISBN: 9780870333385
Category : Market hunting (Game hunting)
Languages : en

Don't expect any apologies here -- this is a book about life as it was lived in another time, ribald, salty, anti-authoritarian and lawless. -- Gray's Sporting JournalMore than a hundred stories are gathered here, full of adventure, high jinks, and one-step-ahead-of-the-warden mischief, along with pictures and brief biographies of the fifteen men who told them.
