Hardcover. New York , HarperCollins, 1st, 1992, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover, 32 pages illustrated in color by Kellogg and SIGNED WITH A DRAWING of an alligator by Kellogg. A funny and energetic picture book portrayal of one of America's most famous frontiersmen and larger-than-life heroes. Mike Fink was king of the keelboatmen--the strongest, rowdiest bunch of fellows ever to work on the Mississippi. Mike was a whole lot more than a keelboater--yes, sir! He was a crack shot and the best grizzly and gator wrestler on the river. They don't make 'em like Mike these days, now do they? But what will Mike do when the larger, faster, smoke-spewing steamboats attempt to take over the rivers?
