Afloat on the Ohio An Historical Pilgrimage of a Thousand Miles in a Skiff, from Redstone to Cairo EPUB
by Reuben Gold Thwaites
EPUB
Description
There were four of us pilgrims - my Wife, our Boy of ten and a half years, the Doctor, and I.
My object in going - the others went for the outing - was to gather local color for work in Western history.
The Ohio River was an important factor in the development of the West.
I wished to know the great waterway intimately in its various phases, - to see with my own eyes what the borderers saw; in imagination, to redress the pioneer stage, and repeople it.
