Publisher's Synopsis

Winter Talk On Summer Pastimes: A Landsman�������s Log is a book written by Joseph W. Smith and published in 1883. The book is a collection of essays and stories about the author's experiences and observations during his summer travels as a ""landsman"" (a non-sailor) on various boats and ships. Smith writes about the joys and challenges of navigating the waterways, the people he meets along the way, and the natural beauty he encounters. The book also includes descriptions of fishing, hunting, and other outdoor activities that were popular during the late 19th century. Through his vivid storytelling and keen observations, Smith provides readers with a glimpse into a bygone era and a world that has since been transformed by modern technology. Overall, Winter Talk On Summer Pastimes is a charming and engaging read that will appeal to anyone interested in maritime history, outdoor recreation, or the art of storytelling.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
