Slight shelf-wear else fine new copy in dust-wrapper. "Eugene V. Connett III, the venerable founder of The Derrydale Press, described Edmund Ware Smith as 'the most polished writer we have ever published.' The discovery of this manuscript in 1936 was, he said, 'one of the happiest events of the past year.' Smith was a master New England storyteller who expressed his love and knowledge of wild places through the medium of short stories. The title comes from an experience of the author and a boyhood friend who together enjoyed the thrill of catching their first bass with worms in a tomato can. This book is full of warm, evocative stories from locales all over the Atlantic seaboard. Originally published by The Derrydale Press in 1937, this classic of outdoor literature will appeal to the armchair sportsman as well as the accomplished hunter and fisher." Chapters include:- A tomato can chronicle; The tenderfoot who wasn't; Lost - two reputations; Owed to my son; Two climaxes in the angling career of Mr. Samuel Q. Busby - The hero worship of Sam Busby, The uninvited pest; Lo, the long brown ridges; Pop's day off; Christmas for two; Vancouver Island - an insular report; Song of Solomon; The old men look back.
