Tucker resorted to the fishing grounds off Labrador and Newfoundland to bolster his health. He survived, obviously, and filed this report of his adventures ashore, which contains excellent detail, especially about fishermen and fisheries practices, as well as Indians and islanders, but leans a little too heavily on moral issues for modern tastes. A scarce narrative. Smith, "American Travellers Abroad", T-77. Sabin 97297. Lande 848 TPL 5134. Bound in original green cloth with gold cover lettering, lightly worn.
