Four months in a sneak-box : a boat voyage of 2600 miles down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and along the Gulf of Mexico
Nathaniel H. Bishop's 1879 travel narrative from Lee & Shepard of Boston, recounting a 2,600-mile solo boat voyage down the Ohio and Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico, aimed at general American readers. Wood engravings show a small duck-hunting sneak-box on open water, reed banks, steamboats and flocks of birds, useful for river horizons, rippled water texture and boat profiles.
