Afloat On The Ohio is a historical travelogue written by Reuben Gold Thwaites in 1897. The book chronicles Thwaites’ journey of a thousand miles in a skiff along the Ohio River, from Redstone to Cairo. Thwaites, a historian and journalist, embarked on this pilgrimage to explore the historical significance of the Ohio River and the towns and cities that line its banks. Throughout the book, Thwaites provides detailed descriptions of the towns, landscapes, and people he encounters on his journey. He also delves into the history of the region, discussing the Native American tribes that once inhabited the area, the early European explorers and settlers, and the role of the Ohio River in the development of the United States. Afloat On The Ohio is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering readers a unique perspective on the history and culture of the Ohio River Valley. Thwaites’ writing style is engaging and informative, making this book an enjoyable read for anyone interested in American history, travel, or adventure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
