These ten related stories give us the most plausible picture I've seen of the life and prospects of Chesapeake Bay watermen in this time of radical social change. In beautifully spare prose, Hall describes episodes that are funny in places, sad in other places and generally empathetic. John Goodspeed, The Star Democrat, Easton, MD "Hall's portrayal glows like a water color" Ramon de Rosas, Maine in Print "The book really made me miss departed story-tellers like Watt Herbert, who had a similar ability to spin a great yarn which passed on a lesson without excessive moralizing." Lynn Norris, Westmoreland News, Montross, VA
