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 His family's letters, journals, and other historical
documents provide the foundation for this true, semibiographical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.
