EXCERPT......

Some of the stories in Rivers Revealed take place on steamboats where Hay served a Riverlorian. One of his duties was to point out interesting things along the river, as he is doing here with a passenger on the Mississippi Queen. His many years on the rivers are shared with readers in stories, history and practical information about our nations rivers. Rivers Revealed  also features his many "lessons learned". Many stories will have the reader laughing out loud. Hay's favorite  saying is "In don't make the same mistake twice; I'm too busy making new ones"

Review from Indiana Historical Society

Written in an engaging, conversational style, Rivers Revealed combines the author's lifelong love of America's waterways with practical and historic information gathered from his three decades as a professional riverlorian for the Delta Queen Steamboat Company in New Orleans. A modern-day Huck Finn, Jerry Hay spins yarns laced with personal anecdotes on such topics as navigating 500 miles of the Wabash River, the trials and tribulations of building a sternwheeler, "reading" the river, how to plan your own river adventure, a hair-raising but humorous river rescue, an unforgettable goose named Gilligan, the language of the rivers and riverboats, early to present-day river navigation, and much, much more. A book for all who love Mark Twain, these river adventures will entertain the landlubber and engage the boating enthusiast.
