A Stretch on the River by R P Bissell review
A waterfront book review praises A Stretch on the River by R P Bissell. It follows a young man who becomes a river steamer deckhand and contrasts river life with rail and coal traffic. The reviewer notes frank dialogue, entertaining but uneven writing, and the book’s education in moving coal by water.
