The River Home: A Memoir

by Dorothy Weil

Book Overview

The death of her father begins Dorothy Weil's search for what causes the family's "spinning of in all directions like the pieces of Chaos." She embarks on a river odyssey, traveling the Ohio, Missouri, and Mississippi Rivers by steamboat, towboat, and even an old-fashioned flatboat. The river brings her family back, as she records the stories of her fellow "river rats" steamboat veterans, deckhands, captains, and cooks.
