The Adventurer and the Yellow Banks Landing
The narrative follows the Adventurer docking at Yellow Banks, militia officers clashing with unruly troops, and a chance reunion between Abraham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis on a muddy riverbank. The narrator plans to expose a slave rumor and aids Kirby’s covert shore approach as the boat prepares to move up Rock River.
