A beautiful 1969 1st Edition from one of America's most beloved fishing writers, warmly inscribed in the year of publication on the front endpaper.
"Lamb (1899-1986) was a New York City investment banker, avid angler and gifted writer. He was best known for his fishing adventures in the northeastern U.S. and Atlantic Canada. He particularly loved fly fishing for Atlantic salmon. Lamb was a wealthy man who was involved in several fish and game clubs, and donated the proceeds of his books toward community and conservation efforts. Though sometimes hard to find, Lamb’s books are highly sought after and enjoyed by a dedicated group of outdoor book enthusiasts." - outdoor sporting library
This particular piece is a nice association copy, written to his close friend Roberta Thomas (wife of Frederick) of the 17th-century manor near Easton, Maryland, 'Troth's Fortune', with the inscription reading - "To Roberta Thomas with all the best as always and my love - Dana S. Lamb - Sunken Meadow Christmas 1969"
