Run to the Lee

Published in hardcover in 1965 and long out of print, this lively and accurate adventure tale is now available in paperback for the first time. As a fictionalized account of life on the Chesapeake Bay at the turn of the century, Run to the Lee has the same appeal to all ages as Gilbert Byron's own beloved novel, The Lord's Oysters.

About the Author

Kenneth F. Brooks, Jr., is the author of two novels and of numerous magaize and newspaper articles. He is a life-long resident of the Chesapeake Bay region.

Reviews

"This is quite a yarn, and Ken Brooks, who began his own exploration of the Chesapeake country at the tender age of ten as a cabin boy on the 48-foot yawl Natalie, has written with authenticity and vigor."

- Gilbert Byron - Baltimore Sun

"This book should be compulsory reading in every Maryland high school."
