This review is from: Beam Reach: Further Voyaging in the Gloucester Daily Times (Paperback)

If you want an insider's look at Gloucester, Massachusetts, America's oldest fishing port, this is the book for you.

"Beam Reach" is a fascinating collection of Joseph E. Garland's column in the Gloucester Daily Times (newspaper) with "other miscellaneous musings." Garland, a Harvard graduate, freelance writer, and Gloucester resident is a "respected local historian and journalist." This collection spans the years 1951 to 1997 and "tells it like it is." He has written nineteen other books.
