Illustrated by
Andrew Glass.
A folksong about the Erie Canal in western New York inspired this rhyming tale of a larger-than-life fight on the canal between Captain Flynn's outnumbered, but courageous boat crew and an attacking band of pirates led by Bill McGrew. Colorful, often humorously caricatured--but sometimes blurry-looking--drawings keep pace with the fast action.
