Summary: I Remember Ballard Hadman
Review: I purchaed this book several years ago. It has special meaning to me because I was born and raised in Ketchikan, Alaska and personally knew the Hadman family. I attended school with Ballard's son James Hadman and stayed at their home more than once when we were in high school. This book is enjoyable reading. I also commercially fished with my family as a young man. The Hadmans were active fisherman at that time to and we saw them in the southeast Alaska west coast fishing areas.

Summary: One of The Best I've Ever . . .
Review: If you have ever been on the ocean, anywhere in the world, in a small boat, you'll appreciate and identify with the crises, excitements and experiences described in this book! It is amazing that a tale from the 1930's and 40's could be so gripping, so laughable, so enjoyable and so down-to-earth and still similar to what one experiences on the water today! I would also recommend it for younger readers in search of something different, something out of the main stream, but something real!
