A Plea For Old Cap Collier

""A Plea For Old Cap Collier"" is a book written by Irvin S. Cobb, first published in 1922. The book is a collection of short stories about the life and adventures of Old Cap Collier, a sailor and fisherman from the fictional town of Beulah Land. The stories are set in the early 20th century and offer a glimpse into the life of a sailor during that time period. The book is written in a humorous and lighthearted style, with each story containing a moral lesson or a reflection on life. The book is a tribute to the simple and honest way of life of Old Cap Collier and his community. It is a heartwarming and nostalgic read that will appeal to anyone who loves stories about the sea and the people who live by it.The basic reason, the underlying motive, lay in the fact that in the schoolbooks of our adolescence, and notably in the school readers, our young mentalities were fed forcibly on a pap which affronted our intelligence at the same time that it cloyed our adolescent palates. It was not altogether the lack of action; it was more the lack of plain common sense in the literary spoon victuals which they ladled into us at school that caused our youthful souls to revolt.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
