This review is from: One Man and the Mighty Mississippi: A Sixty-Year Adventure on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers (Perfect Paperback)

Written by Captain Norman Hillman, a career riverboat pilot, One Man and the Mighty Mississippi: A Sixty-Year Adventure on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers is a memoir filled cover to cover with amazing facts about and major events in the riverboat industry. Hillman's more striking days on the job involved everything from breaking ice on Lake Pepin to fighting fires on board to rescuing tugboats trapped against bridges. An excellent book for scholars interested in researching a primary source of the riverboat industry as well as for lay readers.
