Four Months In A Sneak Box is a classic travelogue written by Nathaniel H. Bishop. The book chronicles Bishop's four-month journey through the eastern United States in a small sailboat called a sneak box. The author describes his adventures and misadventures as he sails down rivers, across lakes, and along the coast, encountering a variety of people and wildlife along the way. Bishop's writing is vivid and engaging, and he provides a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of American travel and exploration. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in adventure, travel, or the history of the United States.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.
