Historic photos political cartoons excerpts from journals letters diaries interviews. "Lighthearted and entertaining."</p><p>Bill Mares brings to hand a truly enjoyable collection about big men doing small things. Mares has captured an important facet of fishing: it is the only sport that both reduces the Greats to Mere Mortals and gives us mere mortals a chance to be Great. To wit: Eisenhower was skunked on the Furnace Brook in Vermont yet after his security entourage pulled out the locals used worms to clean out the stocked fish that denied Ike his day on the river.</p><p>This book glides along like hearing a story. Mare's subject is so interesting his book has been read by my Hong Kong-born wife who does not fish. After she put down the book my fly-fishing 6 year old daughter grabbed it. Go figure. The photographs alone are worth the cover price. Especially the one of Nixon swaddled in wet rags.</p><p><strong>Insurance & handling is included free.
