"Drawing on literary masterworks and riveting firsthand narratives, travel writing and natural science, memoir and journalism, American Sea Writing captures the full sweep of America's maritime experience. From voyagers of the 17th century to ecological dilemmas of the 20th, from Cotton Mather and Washington Irving to Peter Matthiessen and Barry Lopez, this collection casts our national story in a new and revealing light."--BOOK JACKET.
