Four Months in a Sneak-Box

"Four Months in a Sneak-Box" is the travel memoir of adventurer Nathaniel H. Bishop, about a boat voyage he undertook down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and along the gulf of Mexico. He had procured the smallest and most comfortable of boats—a purely American model, developed by the bay-men of the New Jersey coast of the United States, and recently introduced to the gunning fraternity as 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.
