Dedicated to Grover Cleveland, this slim 16-page work quotes the angling references in Washington's diaries and gives brief descriptions of his angling hosts and companions. Interesting for this, and for the author's conviction (expressed in his dedication to President Cleveland) that "No good fisherman was ever a bad man, and history will bear out the assertion that the best Presidents have been the best fishermen."
