Mariner of the North

Résumé du livre

George Palmer Putnam, a close friend of Captain "Bob", and the one who was to a large. extent responsible for initiating the wonderful series of Morrissey voyages to the Arctic, is author of "Mariner of The North, the Life of Captain Bob Bartlett". It is not a true biography; but rather a series of tales and anecdotes that create the atmosphere in which "Bob" Bartlett lived. The profound influence of the various interesting events that affected the life of this singularly strong character makes this method of presentation quite .effective. The book is well written, the tales well told, and it 'is pleasant reading. George Putnam has included material supplied from a wide range of sources, from Captain "Bob's" many friends and family. Those who know the "skipper" and about his life will enjoy the familiar stories retold.
