"My husband told me if he had attended a history class in high school given by someone like you, he probably would have gone on to become a history teacher." – Joy Snider, Garden City ID

Bill passionately shares a fascination for the amazing struggle to control the Ohio and Mississippi River systems. These waterways were prime arteries to transport troops and supplies. Iron-covered and cannon-equipped steamboats operated like floating tanks and dramatically impacted the outcome of these efforts. The story is filled with incredible characters, including one whose actions along the river helped thrust him into the White House. Plus, the important wrinkle of a pivotal river-border state that refused to side with either the Union or the Confederacy.
