For the life of me, I don't see how anybody in his right mind would
want a berth on a busted down wreck like the Jessie Bill. But then
there ain't many people on the Jessie Bill in their right minds
[...]My name is Peter Paul Sherman and I'm mud clerk on the Jessie
Bill. Flunky might be a better word for it. I'm 17 and if I can
live through one more season on this leaky old tub, I'll put in for
a job on some respectable boat... And so begins the wonderful
adventures of Mr. Peter Paul Sherman. It's the kind of story that
the incomparable Mr. Samuel Clemens would have recognized in a
flash. Peter Sherman's lively and hilarious account of this travels
up and down the mighty Mississippi will delight every family that
appreciates the wonderful history and unique characters that make
up our rich American heritage. Where else could you find battles
with river pirates, riots caused by floating Shakespearean acting
troupes, picnics that turn into brawls...and it's all true. More or
less.
