The question was asked, “Would you recommend this book to someone else?”
The collective vote of the 8 members attending the meeting was an emphatic "No!" Only one member actually read the book in its entirety. All felt the book was much too weighed down by factual content about the Mississipi River and steamboat piloting. The general feeling seemed to be that only those aspiring to become steamboat pilots would find the book worth the time investment to read it.
