Skipper is A True Slice of History, Mar 20 2010
By M. Shaw - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Skipper (Paperback)
Frances Jewel Dickson's portrayal of rugged sea captain Matthew Mitchell is superb. Whether she is chronicling Mitchell's early years learning his trade, detailing his adventures on steel trawlers or wood dories,or capturing the essence of his 45-plus years as the shore captain at the Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, Dickson's creative storytelling style presents a colorful character whose life is a true slice of history. For anyone who loves a good yarn, and yearns to be part of an Eastern Seaboard yesteryear unlike any before or since, Skipper is a must read.
