Henry van Dyke — Princeton professor, clergyman, wartime minister to the Netherlands, and a serious angler — knew the American outdoors and refused to sentimentalize the men who lived in it. These 1901 tales gather a Canadian guide, a trout stream, a lonely lighthouse keeper, a boy and his canoe, and in each a single governing passion that quietly decides everything. This edition presents the complete and unabridged collection, newly typeset and illustrated with 30 full-page color plates.
