Award-winning novelist William Auman, author of "If Trees Could Testify..." and "Pioneer Paddling Colonial Carolina," takes the reader on a time-traveling odyssey through remaining colonial wilderness in six states, complete with pirates, epic frontiersmen, Indigenous Peoples and Revolutionary War battles. From Blackbeard to Daniel Boone, the Calusa to Osceola, 345 bodies of water are chronicled with a focus on family-friendly adventures presented within the historical context through which they unfold. The spirit of these paddling journeys will resonate with the academic historian as well as the swashbuckling youth in search of pirate treasure.
