Negley Farson

Born in New Jersey in 1890, Negley Farson was raised by his eccentric grandfather, General Negley, a veteran of the Amercian Civil War. Fishing and sailing on the Chesapeke Bay as a boy, he soon showed signs of a natural wanderlust which took him, eventually, all over the world, his fishing rod a vital part of his luggage. He began his married life on a houseboat in British Columbia in 1920 and died in 1960 in his home in north Devon, England.
