Captain's Blind Daughter John Wiskus

I think that is peanut butter and jelly; well it could be some old mustard sticking those three pages together. This story starts in the spring of 1849 with the four graves and then when a small woman with 'strong features and calming blue eyes' decides to move what was left of the two families from Iowa out to Montana. It tells of their family adventures on the Mississippi River, life and a winter in Missouri. Adventures up the Ohio River to find a 13 year old blind girl as told in the first four books. Lois Agne tried to start a new life in 1849 and recorded their day by day adventures, as others did, of her kids finding wanted poster men and Indians along the rivers, the prairies and the Lewis and Clark Trail: This is the first book of the series tale of the kids 'Going Down River.' Next the 'River Kid Detectives' and they end up kid-napped. To endure life's tragedies and love in an adventure story for teens, adults, and grandchildren from 8 years of age on up to folks 108 years young and also for the little kid in all of us. After the mystery case of the spooks, the kids get a long interview by Mr Leo Brown of the St. Louis Star Newspaper. The kids get on with their adventure by winning over many of the stern paddle wheel steam boat captains and later the young blind girl. The boys' trail cross again later with the river captain who gave the boys their first five, $5 gold coins. The boys had pulled his ship off the river sandbar with their two wagon teams. The boys get a visit from the ghostwriter, Mr Long. The kids get a visit from a sheriff and some additional information on the Ohio bank robber. The kids get to visit a robbed Wells Fargo Bank in Ohio. The kids will soon have 57 new wanted posters and is it he, that feller in the card game, on board the stern steamship 'The Boyer I,' is he a twin?This is all gleaned from a collection of some spotted, faded, parts unreadable, and as I said, I think that is peanut-butter and jelly sticking those three pages toget
