Overview

“The Last of the Flatboats” transports readers to the vibrant era of river travel on the Mississippi. George Cary Eggleston masterfully tells a tale of adventure and family centered around the iconic flatboats that once plied these waters. As steamboats begin to dominate the river, the story captures the challenges and changes faced by those whose livelihoods depended on the traditional ways. Experience the excitement and perils of navigating the Mississippi, the camaraderie of river families, and the poignant transition as a way of life fades into history. This is a story of resilience, adaptation, and the enduring spirit of those who lived and worked on the great rivers of America.
