This is the autobiography and biography of one of Stonington, Connecticut's most loved fisherman. Capt. James Arruda Henry tells his journey from childhood, his mature life, and finally his moment in the National spotlight by overcoming functional illiteracy at the age of 96, culminating in his authorship of the book "In A Fisherman's Language". The book contains not only his own words, but those gleaned from a series of taped conversations recorded by his nephew, and other glimpses into his character remembered by his immediate family. It also contains much of the history of Stonington's fishing fleet from the early to later 20th Century.
