From the Publisher

Here, the former president reminisces about his childhood--fishing with his daddy and learning to hunt, encounters with rattlesnakes and getting lost in the woods. He charts his and his wife's progress in fly-fishing and takes us on piscatorial adventures to Camp David, Japan, New Zealand, Europe. ``This book is the work of a contented man,'' observed PW.
