Great book
Great book for anyone who lived in the white river area. It was really interesting to me as we had a house boat on the white river when I was a child. Many of the places mentioned brought back memories of things we did in a more relaxed time. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across my great grandmothers name mentioned. I have told everybody who will listen about the book :)Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
