Title: Fishing in America; from Indians to Today's Sportsman: The Epic Story of Fishing and Tackle
Description: New York, Holt, Rinehart & Winston, 1975. First Edition. Hardcover. Quarto; pp; 251, index; Illustrated with black and white and colored photos, paintings and drawings; glossy green boards decorated in blind, lettered in gilt in a pictorial dust jacket. More than 250 really extraordinary illustrations, many in full color, and many illustrating the earlier history of fishing that are remarkable. This is a brilliant interweaving of three fascinating stories: How North America's game fish have survived the impact of our expanding civilization in their environment; How anglers' techniques have altered and advanced as fish species and their changing habitats have become better understood; and how tackle has brought sportsmanship to its present state of perfection. A fascinating book--even for a non-fisherman!. Very good/very good.
