Cleveland Steamer and his faithful dog Blumpkin must clean up the Mississippi River by bringing three trophies to the Angry Pirate Felch Santorum. A delightful children's book written by a Vulgarian refugee following WWI, some of the words and phrases in this book may have changed meaning over time. It maybe shouldn't be read by children, but will probably do very little permanent damage.

John D. Rockefeller arrived in Cleveland in 1853 a boy of 14 and spent six decades in his adopted hometown. With the Standard Oil Company's incorporation in 1870, Rockefeller became the city's most well-known industrialist and, from 1885 to 1917, its foremost summer resident at his Forest Hill estate. Here he raised his children, laid the foundation of a financial and industrial empire, and established a commitment to charitable giving. At the end of the Civil War, Cleveland was a crucible from which would be cast the fortunes of many. None were greater than Rockefeller's. Rockefeller's Cleveland captures the visual panorama of a dynamic city that literally reinvented itself in the 1800s and in doing so emerged a major business and industrial center.
