Book Description
The Scandinavian men and women who journeyed to America to follow a dream of sea bounty -- the silver-sided Pacific salmon who thronged into the Columbia River -- developed a culture known as the "Butterfly Fleet" of which Astoria, Oregon, was the thriving base. A book of accurate history that forms the backdrop for a fictional narrative, The Butterfly Fleet takes its place as an important contribution to the fishing culture of the Pacific Northwest.
