The last of the flatboats: A story of the Mississippi and its interesting family of rivers is a novel that follows a group of resourceful boys as they embark on an adventurous journey down the Mississippi River on a self-built flatboat.

The story begins in a small town along the Ohio River, where a group of boys, led by two brothers, are engaged in a salvage operation recovering pig-iron from a wrecked barge. Their persistence leads them to discover valuable underwater artifacts. Excited by their success, they hatch a plan to build a flatboat and journey down to New Orleans for profit. They are joined by a mysterious figure eager to serve as a pilot. Tension arises as they grapple with his questionable behavior and intentions, setting the stage for an adventure filled with excitement, unexpected challenges, and the vibrant environment of the Mississippi River.
