Sinopsis

Published in hardcover in 1965 and long out of print, this lively and accurate adventure tale is now available in paperback for the first time. As a fictionalized account of life on the Chesapeake Bay at the turn of the century, Run to the Lee has the same appeal to all ages as Gilbert Byron's own beloved novel, The Lord's Oysters.

De la contraportada

'In Run to the Lee Kenneth Brooks has written of these last days of the sailing freighters on Chesapeake Bay. He has also given the reader a detailed and accurate word picture of an outstanding schooner captain...John Talbott.'Most of Run to the Lee is devoted to Captain Talbott's battle with (a) December blizzard as he drove his schooner southward toward the harbor on the Patuxent. The is quite a yarn, and Ken Brooks, who began his own exploration of the Chesapeake country at the tender age of 10 as a cabin boy on the 48-foot yawl Natalie, has written with authenticity and vigor.' Gilbert Byron, Baltimore Sun
