Grab A Bush - By R. Allen Coleman
150 pages. 14 illustrations. Soft cover. 5.25 by 7 in. R. Allen Coleman, according to the late James V. Swift, spent some 60 years on the Missouri River. He has had a lot to say about environmentalists claims about what the river is and what the river isn’t. Grab A. Bush, however, is a different way of revealing the secrets of the river. It is filled with tales of the Missouri River steamboat days. About Coleman, Al Frisbie of the "Omaha World Herald" wrote: Son of a one-time riverboat man, Coleman knows the Missouri well. For years he has been fascinated by stories of boats that plied the snag-strewn river of long ago. In 1972, he wrote a booklet detailing steamboat wrecks, which occurred along the 20-mile channel in Douglas County. In other words, he knows where of he speaks and writes. In Grab A Bush, though, he strays from the narrow channel of truth to dabble delightfully in some tall tales of Missouri River lore." Yet, according to Frisbie, the book gives the reader considerable insight into what it took to head a steamboat up the Missouri’s treacherous waterways long ago. "…the book is something of a short course in river navigation and a personality study of the men who have been bound in the river. Usually shipped with 48 hours.
