For the life of me, I dont see how anybody in his right mind would want a berth on a busted down wreck like the Jessie Bill. But then there aint many people on the Jessie Bill in their right minds [...]My name is Peter Paul Sherman and Im mud clerk on the Jessie Bill. Flunky might be a better word for it. Im 17 and if I can live through one more season on this leaky old tub, Ill put in for a job on some respectable boat...And so begins the wonderful adventures of Mr. Peter Paul Sherman. Its the kind of story that the incomparable Mr. Samuel Clemens would have recognized in a flash. Peter Shermans lively and hilarious account of this travels up and down the mighty Mississippi will delight every family that appreciates the wonderful history and unique characters that make up our rich American heritage.Where else could you find battles with river pirates, riots caused by floating Shakespearean acting troupes, picnics that turn into brawls...and its all true.More or less.
