From the Maine shoreline to the Florida Keys, and from the Northwest's inland waters to Baja, California, this collection of oils and watercolours includes views of New England's rocky shores and sandy beaches, Chesapeake Bay, South Carolina's Low Country, the rugged Oregon Coast (where Lewis and Clark first sighted the Pacific Ocean), the spirit of sailing across San Francisco Bay, and the expanse of Big Sur.

With over 150 full colour plates of the artist's paintings of the American coast from marshland to major built-up areas, and including many seascapes, this is a beautifully illustrated book. The accompanying text provides a history of the coast, both in geological and social terms with accounts of the early settlers as well as of today's residents.
The vast majority of the images a full page in size, and many of them cross the gutter providing an even larger image. The paintings include watercolours ans oils, and there are the occasional close-up details. The pictures are well captioned with size, date and a brief comment. ( )
