Four Months in a Sneak-Box A Boat Voyage of 2600 Miles Down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and Along the Gulf of Mexico

** "Four Months in a Sneak-Box" by Nathaniel H. Bishop tells the true story of a remarkable solo journey down America's great rivers. The author travels over two thousand miles, from the Ohio to the Mississippi, and finally along the Gulf of Mexico, all while living in a small but sturdy boat called a sneak-box. The book shares his preparations and the details about why this special boat was perfect for the trip, especially because it handles well in different kinds of water. Readers are transported back to witness both natural beauty and the challenges of navigating America’s waterways alone in the 1800s. **
