portrait on front cover, vii, 145 pages, [4] pages of plates : illustrations, portraits, "A vigorous and touching book, Cape Breton Captain is the rough-and-tumble life of Captain David A. McLeod-a robust autobiography of salt water sailing and guts and passionate romance, told by a man who ended his days as a storekeep in Cleveland, Richmond County, Cape Breton Island-an angry scar across his face, the result of a mutiny on his last ship. McLeod brings to life scenes of brutality and companionship and love. From the circus riot in Port Hawkesbury to shipwreck and fistfights, love won and love lost, sea shanties and battling wind-ripped sails in storms-he was a tough, tough man. The forward thrust of the storytelling is terrific. We have nothing comparable in Cape Breton literature. This book will last!"-- Provided by publisher
