"Have you ever sat down and had a conversation with an old-timer? They have stories you won't find in history books. If you want to get to the meat and potatoes of a subject, don't go to a fancy brochure; ask a grandparent. Their recollections can delight and entertain, but be forewarned these gems can lie untouched unless mined like the treasures they are. Step into the fishing community of Hoonah, Alaska, and meet Karl Greenewald, seine boat crew member, who was sucked down into a whirlpool in the volatile waters of North Inian Pass while stretching a net in a rowboat. Get to know Terry Shepard, the Hobbit, short in stature but long on desire, who only hired female crew hands. And catch a glimpse of local highliner Floyd Peterson, who harvested 375 coho salmon in one 12-hour period. In Hoonah, a community which has a long history with the sea, these treasures are plentiful. Fisherman, author and Alaska resident Tom Botts has trolled for tales from fellow fishermen and presents his catch a collection of stories from the men and women who have chosen a life on the sea as their profession and Hoonah as their home in this newest Alaska classic, The Greybeards."--P.
