Even though by a British author, “Captains Courageous” is the most American novel I’ve ever read

Captains courageous is in a class of its own. Both the book and the film.

Ernest Hemingway once stated : “ All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.”

I have an American First Edition of Captains Courageous. It is in perfect condition. New Youk, The Century Company, 1897. I have not read it yet.
