CONDITION - USED - Pages can include limited notes and highlighting, and the copy can include "From the library of" labels or previous owner inscriptions. Accessories such as CD, codes, toys, may not be included. Still vital, still picturesque, New England's fishing communities have played a special role in American history. Seventeenth-century fishermen on Maine's outer islands saved the pilgrims from starvation; eighteenth-century cod fishermen helped to build America's earliest towns; nineteenth-century whalers from Nantucket and New Bedford gave the nation its first great fortunes. The fishermen's fierce sense of independence helped inspire the American Revolution.
