ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
I was born in Wisconsin surrounded by a loving family of ten and loved swimming in cold lakes. When I was a boy I read an article by former president Harry Truman recommending historical biographies for young readers. His reasoning was that it was easy to follow the storyline of someone’s life, and they would absorb the history of the times on the journey. History soon became my favorite subject and I have been an active reader all my life.

I'm having trouble thinking of a book that featured a boat and all I can think of is The Life of Pi. I hope that works for an entry! milou2ster(at)gmail.com
One of my favorite books about a boat or ship is Nelson's Trafalgar by Roy Adkins. I learned so much that was fascinating! Please enter me!

I had a hard time thinking of a book that had a boat or a ship in it. However, I finally remembered that I read a classic book by Richard Jefferies called "After London" in which the main character makes his own boat and tries to sail to end of the known world.... very interesting.

Do kids books count. We have read Tugga-Tugga Tugboat by Kevin Lewis and I'm Mighty! by Kate Mcmullan. I was interested to see that the author was born in WI.
The Count of Monte Cristo...Edmund Dantes was a sailor. It's my very favorite book.

I can't really think of a book about a boat. All I can think of is the romance book Shanna, which had them traveling by ship.
