James Michener’s The Watermen pairs the master storyteller’s prose with John Moll’s evocative drawings, creating a 1979 illustrated hardcover that spotlights the duck-hunting culture of Chesapeake Bay. This stand-alone picture book distills the maritime spirit of Michener’s epic novel Chesapeake into a collector-friendly volume.

The 193-page Random House edition arrives in very good shape: tight binding, crisp unmarked pages, and no dog ears. A vintage stamp rests discreetly on the bottom page block; the jacket shows light shelf scuffing and minor edge tears that only add honest character. All artwork remains vivid beneath the protected dust jacket.

Perfect for fans of nature writing, Mid-Atlantic history, or animal art, this copy offers a nostalgic window onto waterfowling life without the weight of the full saga. Michener’s name and the Chesapeake setting make it a natural fit for both young adult and adult shelves.
