WHAT OUR READERS ARE SAYING!
"Wild River, Wooden Boats is a splendid account of frontier travel on the Missouri. Tragedy and triumph are recounted without dramatics o that the reader will want to be there on the one hand and be glad he wasn't on the other!"
~ William Steinike, Reader and Steamboat Buff
"In Come Hell or High Water, Gillespie has woven together contemporary into a history of steamboating that hasn't been told quite this way before. I found it fresh and new. I thoroughly enjoyed it!"
~ Karen "Toots" Malloy, long time Riverlorian with the Delta Queen Steamboat Co.
"These three collections of Old Time Railroad Stories are for people who love to immerse themselves in the early days of steam. All are colorfully written, well-edited, and will take the reader through the gamut of emotions. You will read every one more than once!"
~ Reader

What people are saying ...
Lisa grew up along the Mississippi River, exploring every nook and cranny... both on the water and off, with her family. Her special talent is color, blending, and a sensitivity to the joys that maps hold for many of us. Her maps are often described as being among the most beautiful on the Internet. Her maps may be found through the length and breadth of the United States, and her art has embellished book covers, CD covers, and Madison Avenue brochures.
About Lisa
Old maps are fascinating to me, to see how a landscape was interpreted back then without ever being able to have a birds eye view. You really bring your maps to life! And I love the bit of history you have on most!
