Hard Cover. Condition: New. First Thus. 88 pp. Book: New, sealed in shrink wrap and slipcase. A collection of pieces from John McPhee's The Founding Fish in an elegant, beautifully illustrated Meadow Run Press edition. The Pulitzer Prize winning author is a national treasure--the author of twenty-six books. With vivid and spirited prose, McPhee masterfully weaves together the shad's natural history, his own angling history with the fish, along with the history of the early American settlers and the critical importance of this fish to their very existence. This is a large and compelling story. The misery and hunger of George Washington's troops at Valley Forge are palpable through McPhee's pen, as is their joy and salvation in the annual shad migration up the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers. Early Philadelphia comes alive with vendor's shouts of "Shad-e-o! Shad-e-o!" announcing newly-arrived fish. And with fly rod in hand, the author travels to the Miramichi in advance of the Atlantic salmon run for some remarkable, memorable shad fishing--unknown to most fly fishermen. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by Author. Limited Edition.

Unread Very Fine condition in original glassine wrapper and alike slip-case; "American Shad are schooling ocean fish, and when they come in to make their run up the river they follow the deep channels. In the estuary towards the end of the winter, they mill around in tremendous numbers, waiting for the temperature to rise. Soon, a single sentence moves northward with them - sending amps and volts through the likes of me. The phone rings, and someone says, "They're in the river."
