Beskrivelse af Old Times On The Upper Mississippi
""Old Times On The Upper Mississippi"" is a memoir written by George Byron Merrick, a steamboat pilot who worked on the Mississippi River from 1854 to 1863. In this book, Merrick recounts his experiences and adventures on the river during a time when steamboats were the primary mode of transportation and commerce. He describes the challenges and dangers of navigating the river, including treacherous currents, sandbars, and fog. Merrick also shares stories of the colorful characters he encountered on his travels, from wealthy plantation owners to rough-and-tumble river men. Along the way, he provides a fascinating glimpse into the social and economic landscape of the Upper Mississippi region during the mid-19th century. This book is a valuable historical document that captures the spirit of a bygone era and offers a unique perspective on a vital chapter in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
