A little about the story
Ramsay Cartou is aboard a side-wheeler on the Great Lakes when a storm changes his life. He ends up in a Wisconsin fishing village in the days of sail and steam, working with the commercial fishermen.
There he hears the legend of the white sturgeon and finds rivals, friends and a world of hard work on dangerous waters. Jim Kjelgaard, the author of Big Red, brings the old fishing industry vividly to life.
