The New York Times bestseller that's "a celebration of sport fishing in America, its history, locales, and impact" ( New York Times Book Review ).
An essential book for everyone who loves casting a line into our nation's waters, The American Fisherman,by outdoorsman Willie Robertson (CEO of Duck Commander and star of A&E's Duck Dynasty) and historian William Doyle, reveals that in the U.S.A., fishing is far more than a pastime-it has shaped our past and defined our character in remarkable ways.
This generously illustrated celebration of fish, anglers, and our country's treasured wild places traces fishing's astonishing impact on the United States and its people, from its settlement and founding, to powering its economy and inspiring our creativity and faith. Blessed by perhaps the most diverse and abundant waters in the world, Native Americans were the continent's first master anglers and incorporated fish into their spiritual beliefs and legends. When the Vikings, the earliest European visitors, arrived, they were drawn across the Atlantic Ocean by the bountiful fishing grounds of North America's East Coast. During the colonial era, fish helped save the Pilgrims, make George Washington wealthy, and win the American Revolution. From New England cod to Pacific Northwest salmon to Gulf shrimp, the fishing industry has fed and financed centuries of Americans in every region of the country.
A spirited and unique look at the U.S.A. and its people, The American Fisherman will hook every sportsman from the first page and forever deepen their appreciation for the fishing life.
