Adam Poe River Experience

A wonderful account of the life and river experiences of Capt Adam Poe  has been loaded.  Full of  swash and buckle.  There is a grace and a toughness about him.  The account, written by Adam Poe in 1887, was printed in a serial form in the East Liverpool Crisis in 1889 or 1890.  I have added a few comments, mainly dates highlighted in blue print, to add perspective.  It is a wonderful read.
