Excerpt from Four Months in a Sneak-Box: A Boat Voyage of 2600 Miles Down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, and Along the Gulf of Mexico Eighteen months ago the author gave to the public his "Voyage of the Paper Canoe: - a geographical journey of 2500 miles from Quebec to the Gulf of Mexico, during the Years 1874-5." The kind reception by the American press of the author's first journey to the great southern sea, and its republication in Great Britain and in France within so short a time of its appearance in the United States, have encouraged him to give the public a companion volume, - "Four Months in A Sneak-Box, - which is a relation of the experiences of a second cruise to the Gulf of Mexico, but by a different route from that followed in the "Voyage of the Paper Canoe."
