(Nathaniel Holmes) 1837 1902 Bishop, Nathaniel Holmes Four Months in a Sneak-Box A Boat Voyage of 2600 Miles Down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and Along the Gulf of Mexico This eBook was produced by Bruce Miller "Four Months in a Sneak-Box" by Nathaniel H. Bishop is a travel narrative written during the late 19th century. The book recounts the author's adventurous voyage of over 2,600 miles down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, culminating at the Gulf of Mexico, all while residing in a uniquely designed small boat known as a Barnegat sneak-box. The work is likely to appeal to readers interested in exploration, canoeing culture, and the historical perspectives on American waterways. The opening of the book details the author's preparations for his journey, including his decision to select the Barnegat sneak-box for its practicality and comfort, contrasting it to lighter canoes better suited for shallow waters. Bishop elaborates on the craftsmanship involved in constructing the sneak-box, sharing insights about its usability and history, particularly its roots in New Jersey's gunning culture. He prepares for the journey alone, ready to navigate various terrains while carrying all his supplies onboard, setting the stage for what promises to be an engaging account of endurance, natural beauty, and the experiences of life on the river.
