Description :

John Douglas Taylor was born in Sparta, Tennessee in 1819

to an overprotective, wealthy Irish family. From his childhood

on a Tennessee plantation to his adventures in the newlyformed

Republic of Texas-and later to his time as a riverboat

captain on the Mississippi-this romantic dreamer's journey is

told through dozens of transcribed letters dating from 1843 to

1875. His family's letters, journals, and other historical

documents provide the foundation for this true, semibiographical

tale of life along the southern waters...and the

shining thread running through Taylor's life is the Grey-Blue

water of the Old South, particularly its rivers, from the

Cumberland to the Mississippi to the Brazos. The Grey-Blue

water is both an enemy and a friend to Taylor. It takes away a

beloved brother and a grandfather before he is old enough to

understand the concept of death. It serves as an escape route

from his rural childhood to a young adulthood filled with danger

and adventure. It lures him to an eventful life aboard the

picturesque steamboats that transport people and cargo from

South to North and back again. The Grey-Blue water becomes

his livelihood...but at times the water threatens to become his

financial undoing. Taylor and his family are eyewitnesses to

major developments in the nation's history, as new states are

added and old traditions, including slavery, are done away

with. They see the country torn apart by war, but then they

witness how the scars of war begin the healing process as

their grief and bitterness are washed by the often-turbulent

Grey-Blue water. One man's journey of self-discovery and

great opportunity ultimately lead the self-proclaimed

adventurer to love, calamity...and eventually to the

appreciation of a nation at war.
