It is 1815, and the McClure family is floating down the Ohio River in a flatboat loaded with their wagon, farm tools, and household goods, as well as their horse, cow, pig, and mule. They're eager to reach the wild country downstream, where farmland costs a dollar an acre, and the dirt is so rich people say you can plant a stick and it will grow! With Mr. McClure steering and the two children watching for sandbars and other dangers, the family journeys toward their future, as Scott Russell Sanders takes readers on a trip into the past.
