Molly Waldo! - A Young Man's First Voyage to the Grand Banks of Newfoundland oleh Priscilla L. Moulton

Folk art and archival voices carry readers on a historical sea voyage with the self-reliant fishermen who lived and died in search of cod. Sign-on to the fishing schooner Fides with Jon Bowen—age sixteen. Learn to fish with Old Orne who survived the Great Gale. Climb up the mast with daredevil Bart who fears nothing. Stand accused of stealing from a dead man before Captain Perry. For adults, young and old, Molly Waldo! is a visual and verbal portrayal of a harsh reality that was early New England life – a reality lived with courage, trust and honor.
