520			_a"Afloat on the Ohio" by Reuben Gold Thwaites is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book documents the author's journey, along with his family and a friend, as they navigate a thousand-mile expedition down the Ohio River in a skiff named "Pilgrim." This narrative explores not only the natural beauty of the landscapes encountered but also delves into the rich history and the various communities that have developed along the riverbanks over the years. The beginning of the book introduces the setup for this adventurous pilgrimage and establishes the diverse cast of characters involved in the journey. The author describes the participants of the expedition, including his wife, son, and a doctor friend, and their motivations for taking on such a trek. The narrative details their departure from Brownsville, Pennsylvania, outlining the history of significant locations along the river, such as Redstone Creek and its relevance in early American settlement. Additionally, the opening chapters evoke rich imagery of the river's industrial backdrop as well as the vibrant life that flourishes alongside it, preparing the reader for the deeper exploration of both the Ohio River and its historical significance.
