- The Story of the American Sailor Brooks, Elbridge
The book covers the entire history of the American sea-farer from
the days before the discovery of the New World up until 1888, from
the fisherman, through the "blue-jacket", the yachtsman. Preface:
"In all the mass of material devoted to the doings and the duties,
the experiences, the adventures and the romance of the American
sailor there is to be found no work that presents in consecutive
narrative the progressive record of the seamen of America. The American
sailor has made his name the synonym of daring, of endeavor and
of achievement. His arm has been the stoutest in sea-fight; his
heart has proved the most undaunted in peril, the most faithful
in time of stress, the most kindly in seasons of doubt, of trial
and of disaster." 331 pp., 63 illus Bristol self-cover reprint with
red silk ribbon bookmark. As new. 12mo Fine
