"Three Days on the Ohio River" by William A. Alcott, is a travel story from long ago that takes you on a steamboat trip down the Ohio River, from Cincinnati to Pittsburgh. The book is like a journal where you read about what the author sees and feels as he travels. He tells about the landscapes, the towns they pass like Maysville and Blennerhassett's Island, and the interesting people he meets on the boat, even Native Americans. He thinks about big ideas like what it means to be human, how time passes, and how to make good choices in life, all while showing you what it was like to travel by steamboat back in the 1850s.
