The Civil War era comes alive with this tale of Jenny McGee's adventures. Her wounded embittered father finds adjusting to civilian life difficult, so the two of them leave home to build a new life. They travel from Booneville NY along the Black River Canal to Rome, and ride a packet boat on the Erie Canal to Buffalo. When disaster strikes, Jenny has to find her way home to her grandparents.
