River Boy

by Olive M. Price, Bill Hamilton (illustrator)

Set in the Hudson River Valley in New York State during the Revolution.
Thirteen-year-old Danny has always dreamed of working on the river. But learning the ways of the Hudson River wasn't easy for a boy his age. Old Beaver, the master skipper would teach him what he needed to know as they travelled upriver with two orphan companions, Emalie and Tad, a cook, and a parrot named Jinx.
