Lessons from America’s Flatboat Era

Описание: A modern-day Huck Finn, Buck casts off down the river on Patience accompanied by an eccentric crew of daring shipmates. Life on the Mississippi: An Epic American Adventure is a majestic feat of storytelling from a writer who may be the closest we have today to Mark Twain.

Now, Buck returns to chronicle his latest adventure: building a wooden flatboat from the bygone era of the early 1800s and journeying down the Mississippi River to New Orleans, illuminating the forgotten past of America’s first western frontier.
