Book Overview
Zane Grey, America's master storyteller of the old West, was a passionate angler. He fished as many as 300 days of the year! This collection, first published in 1925, describes his fishing adventures in exotic locales throughout the Pacific region. Illustrated with more than 100 photographs from the author's private collection. These stories capture the drama and excitement that Grey experienced in being the first person to fish many waters-from the Galapagos Islands to Cabo San Lucas-and in being the first to catch and document many new species of fish. No lover of Zane Grey storytelling will want to miss these real life adventures. The Los Angeles Times listed Tales of Fishing Virgin Seas as one of the best nonfiction books of 2000!

To Be the First Was Always His Goal
Published by Charles , 4 years ago
Tales of Fishing Virgin Seas is Zane Grey's story of how he pioneered big game fishing in places no one had ever done so before--the Cocos Island, the Galapagos Islands, Perlos Island, Zihuatenejo Bay, and Cape San Lucas. These are masterful tales of adventure and not just fish stories as he tells of catching iguanas and describes the native peoples he encounters a long the way. The book itself is done with "french" folds so it is durable and feels much more expensive than it is. All in all this product is worth owning if you do or do not fish because it is Zane Grey doing the story telling as only he can do it. If you have ever doubted you would enjoy Zane Grey's outdoor and fishing exploits, don't. He is still Zane Grey and he tells it like he sees it in only the way he could do it.
Best book ever!

Virgin Fishing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Do you ever wonder what it would be like to go back in time and be one of the first to truly fish virgin waters? Wonder, no more! Zane Grey's voyage into the Pacific is truly adventurous. Zane takes us to primitive islands that were not exactly on the map, and finds a tropical world of wonder. At times he and his cronies cannot land a fish, because the sharks are so thick, other times they grow weary of from too many fish. This book is a great treasure. It is like a fine Ky. bourbon, not to be consumed all at once, but sipped and enjoyed.
