This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
On the broad, winding waters of the Mississippi River in 1828, young Tad Hopkins steps aboard a flatboat for what begins as a simple job-and soon becomes the adventure of a lifetime. In Longshanks, Stephen W. Meader blends history and imagination to deliver a tale of courage, friendship, and coming-of-age in the heart of frontier America. As Tad navigates treacherous currents, backwoods towns, and unexpected dangers, he encounters a tall, lanky boatman whose quiet strength and character leave a lasting impression-an early glimpse of the man history would know as Abraham Lincoln. With richly drawn settings, taut suspense, and moral clarity, Longshanks captures the raw promise of a young nation and the resilience of those who dared to chase it. Perfect for listeners who love historical adventure, river lore, and stories where bravery is earned with every mile.
