Holman Day was a popular Maine author who wrote extensively about the people and landscapes of New England’s coast and countryside. Blow the Man Down is a maritime romance set along the rugged Atlantic seaboard, featuring the blend of adventure, local color, and romantic plotting typical of Day’s fiction.
Day’s work captured the dialect and character of rural New England for a wide readership at the turn of the century. This free public-domain EPUB brings his coastal tale to modern e-readers — a fine example of American regional popular fiction.
