CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Customer Rating:
Summary: A True Story of Vision, Courage and Leadership.
Comment: This is a book for all ages. It was written based on the log kept by the ship's Captain. The voyage starts in Oct., 1898 and ends in Nov., 1899. It is full of excitement but also is a story of the leadership ability of the young captain who is also the designer and builder of the boat. Once you start reading you cannot put it down!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Sailing around the eastern United States around 1900
Comment: This is a fastenating story, but not especially well written. Four young men (almost invariably referred to as 'boys' throughout the text) build a sailing vessel which they pilot down the Mississippi (through ice), around the Gulf of Mexico, up the Altantic seaboard, and back along the Erie Canal and the Great Lakes. Along the way they have adventures and mishaps, which are all told in an impatient 'there wasn't a moment to lose' manner. I think this would have been a better book if it had a little less histronics.
