Low Price Guarantee
We Take School POs
All of our bargain books are brand new, perfectly readable and represent a tremendous value! The bargain books are, however, publisher overstocks and remainders that TRW purchases at deep discounts. As a result, they may have a small mark through the UPC bar code or a small mark on the side of the book. This is simply to mark the books so they cannot be sent back to a publisher. Because of this, bargain books are non returnable to TRW unless they are damaged. Please consider this before ordering.

Annotation: Although it gives only a nod to Native American resistance to westward expansionism, this may still provide American history students with some useful background on boat construction and frontier waterways. Considering both commercial and personal travel, Nirgiotis details the rigors of waterway journeying and gives a much clearer view of the networks of rivers and the difference between upriver and downriver travel than is available in many classroom textbooks. He also gives a vivid accounting of the importance of steamboats. Illustrations, including maps and archival photos, are plentiful and capture a sense of the frontier. A glossary is appended
