The kind reception by the American press of the author's first journey to the great southern sea, and its republication in Great Britain and in France ... have encouraged him to give the public a companion volume, "FOUR MONTHS IN A SNEAK-BOX" ... a relation of ... a second cruise to the Gulf of Mexico ... by a different route from that followed in the "VOYAGE OF THE PAPER CANOE." This time the author procured one of the smallest and most comfortable of boats... the BARNEGAT SNEAK-BOX. This curious and stanch little craft, though only twelve feet in length, proved a most comfortable and serviceable home while the author rowed in it more than 2600 miles down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, until he reached the goal of his voyage — the mouth of the wild Suwanee River — which was the terminus of his "VOYAGE OF THE PAPER CANOE." - Summary by Nathaniel H. Bishop

NOTE: There are issues of race in the telling of "Four Months in a Sneak-box", particularly anti-Black stereotypes and derogatory terms. It is LibriVox's policy to record texts as written.

I Want a Sneak Box!

I love adventure stories, wilderness survival stories, and travel stories. This is all three, with just a pinch of Huck Finn. So much fun!

It's over 100 years ago .l do not care much for his disparaging words said about towns not worth mentioning names or the saying river people are trash. I know where he comes from and that far east is plenty of walking trash I don't want to see.Appears he ate well from these floating free loaders As for me today what I know of these kind of Yankees they can stay as they are and out of the mountains,you are not welcome..
