The Way It Was: Midwest Fisherman and Their Boats From 1894 by Russell Cooper

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges, particularly to front cover right corners, now protected with book tape. Some creasing to front cover. Some foxing to covers. Interior and binding are still very good.

Midwest Fishermen and Their Boats gives the history of the Midwest fishing industry prior to 1939. Most of the fishermen at Geraldton were of Italian or Scandinavian descent, with the only fishing families of English background pre-1939 were the Burton Hancock and Davis families. (Foreword)
