Lone Voyager: the Extraordinary Adventures of Howard
Blackburn, Hero Fisherman of Gloucester
by Joseph E. Garland
921 Blackburn
Like countless fishermen before and since, Howard Backburn and Tom
Welch were trawling for halibut on the Newfoundland banks in an open
dory in 1883 when a sudden blizzard separated them from the mother
ship. Alone on the empty North Atlantic, they battled towering
waves and frozen spray to stay afloat. Welch soon succumbed to
exposure, and Blackburn did the only thing he could - row for
shore. He rowed for five days, with his hands frozen to the
oars, until he spied the coast of Newfoundland.
Fly
Fishing the River of Second Chances
by Jennifer Olsson
921 Ols
Jennifer Olsson had a busy life in Bozeman, Montana. Mother to a young
son and running a tackle shop alongside her husband, she was also much
in demand as a fly-fishing guide. Then a letter arrived from a Swedish
river-keeper named Lars. He had found Jennifer's name in a brochure
and thought that inviting this well-known American fishing guide to
visit his stretch of river---once nearly ruined by logging and now
making a comeback---might be a terrific public relations coup.
This wonderful memoir provides us with a true "and then . .
." story. Jennifer went to Sweden and fell in love---with the
country, the river, and with its keeper. Jennifer and Lars Olsson
venture into a cross-cultural fly-fishing life, beginning with an
attempt on Jennifer's part to wade the chilling but bracing currents
of rural Sweden.
