| "Baldemec" is a composite name, made up of Sir V. Bessborough, A.L. "Tommy," D., Eric M., and Eddy C; who were all members of the fishing party at Anticosti Island in 1934. "A salmon fishing book of great charm and rarity...The total number of salmon for the week for the party was 192. The book is most interesting because it contains accounts of the same trip by all 5 members of the party - they vary widely in style and content from straight facts and figures to lyrical and poetic evocations. The last piece...is particularly fine..." - from Charles Wood, in "More Privately Printed Books on Atlantic Salmon Fishing," third in a series of articles in the Atlantic Salmon Journal). Not in the NUC, OCLC, Wetzel or Bruns. |
