We're excited to be carrying this book after a bit of searching. It's Shantyboat Journal from University Press of Kentucky. The 1930s journal of a couple truly living the small-boat lifestyle.

From the dust jacket:

"Harlan and Annna Hubbard, newly married in middle age, build the boat of their dreams and drift down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. For seven years the Hubbards make their home on their little boat, drifting with the river, camping on the land."

The book is a 378-page collectible hardback with dust jacket and map on inside covers. If you're interested in ordering a copy click here.
