About this book

The Story of Paul Boyton is the autobiography of Paul Boyton (1848-1924), the American showman and adventurer who became world-famous for crossing seas and rivers in an inflatable rubber suit, paddling and sailing for hundreds of miles. He swam the Channel approaches, descended the great rivers of Europe and America, and later opened one of the first amusement parks. His memoir of aquatic daring is a tall, true tale of the Gilded Age. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
