River boat history,
By
This review is from: Life on the River: A Pictorial History of the Mississippi, the Missouri, and the Western River System, (Hardcover)
Although currently out of print, anyone with an intrigue for the old river boats will find this book resourceful. While primally a comprehensive history of the river system in the Central United States readers will find the text enjoyable and exciting. It is similar to a good novel, once started, you just can't put down until finished. The more than 900 illustrations enhance the value of this wonderful volume. Even if you are not a heavy reader, you will certainly enjoy the numerous black and white pictures. Perhaps a little light on statistical data, but generally very all-inclusive of the subject matter. Easy reading for any age (sixth grade or beyond) Since this book is not presently in-print you may want to check Amazon's zShops to see if you can pick up a copy from one of the used sellers. |
