''Four Months In A Sneak Box'' is a memoir written by Nathaniel H. Bishop about his journey in a small boat called a ''sneak box'' from New Jersey to Florida. The book is divided into four parts, each covering a month of Bishop’s journey. In his boat, Bishop navigates through the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, the Chesapeake Bay, and the Intracoastal Waterway. Along the way, he encounters various challenges, such as storms, strong currents, and dangerous wildlife. Bishop also meets many interesting people, including fishermen, sailors, and locals. Through his experiences, Bishop provides a vivid account of life on the water and the beauty of the American coastline. The book is a classic in the genre of travel writing and is a must-read for anyone interested in adventure and the sea.In a few minutes my boat had passed nearly the whole length of the Pittsburgh shore, when suddenly, upon looking over my shoulder, I beheld the river covered with an ice-raft, which was passing out of the Alleghany, and which completely blocked the Ohio from shore to shore. French Creek, Oil Creek, and all the other tributaries of the Alleghany, had burst from their icy barriers, thrown off the wintry coat of mail, and were pouring their combined wrath into the Ohio.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
