A quiet, sun‑lit May morning sets the tone for this wandering fisherman’s journal, where the author trades his editorial desk for a tackle box and a sense of adventure. He guides listeners through the soaring Catskill peaks, the mist‑cloaked valleys of Plauterkill and Kauterskill, and the roaring waterfalls that inspired poets and painters alike. The narrative feels like a friendly conversation, peppered with observations of the rugged landscape, encounters with local settlers, and the simple joys of casting a line in pristine mountain streams.
Beyond the New York foothills, the voyage stretches across the great rivers of the Hudson, St. Lawrence, and St. John, slipping into the wild coastlines of Nova Scotia and the wooded backwaters of New England. Along the way, the traveler shares vivid sketches of remote farms, historic forts, and verdant notches, while reflecting on the quiet reverence that nature awakens. The first act captures the pure pleasure of discovery, inviting listeners to experience the early‑American wilderness through the eyes of an eager angler.

1819–1895
An energetic 19th-century man of letters, he mixed literary work with public service, travel, and a lifelong interest in American life and landscapes. His books and sketches grew out of a career that moved easily between journalism, libraries, government offices, and the outdoors.
