A vivid journey along three historic rivers, blending personal memory with wartime and cultural history.
This nonfiction memoir traces the James, the Potomac, and the Hudson through the author’s recollections, landscapes, and long-remembered moments. From a long-ago boyhood near West Point to modern reflections on preserved sites, the book weaves travel writing with Civil War and naval history, art in the army, and enduring American landscapes. Readers will encounter intimate scenes of riverscapes, historic towns, and cherished places that shaped one man’s view of a nation at peace and at war.
- Experience detailed scenes of river travel, maritime history, and the look and feel of early 20th‑century reminiscence.
- Discover anecdotes about places like West Point, the James River shore, and Washington’s early streets, tied to larger national events.
- Learn how personal memory intersects with historical milestones, from ships and battles to gardens, mansions, and urban landmarks.
- Follow a narrator who moves between vivid scenery and reflective prose, inviting readers to see familiar places anew.

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
