8168. Crump, Irving . THE BOYS’ BOOK OF COAST GUARDS. NY. 1928. 258p. Despite the youthful title, this ‘sleeper’ will interest the veteran as well. Provides numerous accounts of rescues and the work of the Coast Guard when the surfboat, life-car and the breeches buoy were the order of the day. Includes the work of the Revenue Marine, rescues at Chicamacomico, Lone Hill LSS, Frankfort , MI., work of the Cutters Bear and others, Manomet Point LSS and many more. Quite a bit of detail of surfboat and breeches buoy, supplemented by vintage photos, make this a worthwhile addition to your library. Excellent early account and extremely scarce. Clean, crisp, tight, an unusually good copy in fine wraps. (F-). $76.
