Chesapeake Boyhood by William H Turner

Chesapeake Boyhood by William H Turner

His own drawings illustrate the stories, and they, too, win us over with their honesty and charm.

Whether you're a farmer, hunter, fisherman, environmentalist, or one who can take or leave nature, passages in Turner's book will make you smile, laugh, and want to cry.. Episodes of his boyhood will remind you of Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. His book is worthy of a place on the shelf with them. Virginian Pilot Storms, boat wrecks, childhood pranks and even old dogs are remembered with a sense of humor in Turner's book. He has captured the rhythms of country life in a time before fast cars, credit cards, and air pollution. Waterman's Gazette
