Four Months In A Sneak Box is a memoir written by Nathaniel H. Bishop, originally published in 1879. The book chronicles Bishop's four-month journey in a small sailing boat called a sneak box from New York to Florida and back. Bishop's boat was only 12 feet long and 3 feet wide, making for a cramped and challenging journey. Along the way, Bishop encounters a variety of people and experiences, including storms, dangerous wildlife, and friendly locals. The book provides a unique perspective on the challenges and rewards of small boat sailing and the beauty of the American coastline. It is a classic of American travel literature and a must-read for anyone interested in adventure and exploration.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.
