White Water Skipper of the North
The Barringtons

This story delivers an exciting taste of commercial riverboating in Canada and Alaska during the gold rush and into the 1900s. Occasionally, a family and its place in history are right for each other, and such was the case with the Barringtons. Two generations of mariners, fueled by gambling blood and god fever, wove their own unique stories in an era of exploration and adventure. (Hancock House Publishers, 2008)
