Written in an engaging, conversational style, Rivers Revealed
combines the author s lifelong love of America s waterways with
practical and historic information gathered from his three decades
as a professional riverlorian for the Delta Queen Steamboat Company
in New Orleans. A modern-day Huck Finn, Jerry Hay spins yarns laced
with personal anecdotes on such topics as navigating 500 miles of
the Wabash River, the trials and tribulations of building a
sternwheeler, "reading" the river, how to plan your own river
adventure, a hair-raising but humorous river rescue, an
unforgettable goose named Gilligan, the language of the rivers and
riverboats, early to present-day river navigation, and much, much
more. A book for all who love Mark Twain, these river adventures
will entertain the landlubber and engage the boating
enthusiast."
