Shantyboat is the story of a leisurely journey down the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers to New Orleans. For most people such a journey
is the stuff that dreams are made of, but for Harlan and Anna
Hubbard it became a cherished reality. In the fall of 1944 they
built a houseboat, small but neatly accommodated to their needs, on
the bank of the Ohio near Cincinnati, and in it after a pause of
two years they set out to drift down the river. In their small
craft, the Hubbards became one with the flow of the river and its
changing weathers. An artist by profession, Harlan Hubbard records
with graceful ease the many facets of their life on the river-the
panorama of fields and woods, summer gardening, foraging
expeditions for nuts and berries, dangers from storms and
treacherous currents, the quiet solitude of the mists of early
morning. Their life is sustained by the provender of bank and
stream, useful things made and found, and mutual aid and wisdom
from people met along the journey. It is a life marked by
simplicity and independence, strenuous at times, but joyous, with
leisure for painting and music, for observation and contemplation.
