(4) 4-6 Howard, a "hoggee," drives the mules that pull boats along the Erie Canal. But he can also read and write and hopes to become something more. Although suffering from some unlikely coincidences, this interesting story has a sympathetic main character. One subplot involves the treatment of a deaf-mute girl, whom Howard hopes to reach through sign language.
