The Floating House by Scott Russell Sanders illustrated by Helen Cogancherry*

 What a fascinating piece of history!! The McClures float on their floatboat from Pittsburgh, PA to the Indiana territory. This book describes their exciting encounters and beautiful scenery on this journey. When they reach the settlement, they disassemble their flatboat and use its wood to build their home!

I wish author had included an "author's note" at the end to confirm that this book was based on fact. I had to look online to see if settlers actually traveled this way (they had😄).

*Highly recommend.

-Borrowed from the library.
