Bill Weimuth has spent the last 20 years writing, producing, and publishing a diverse collection of works, including books, audiobooks, video presentations, a documentary film, and online courses that explore American history. His first novel, *Down the Rivers of Peril*, is based on the true story of the journey to transport America’s first Western steamboat, the “New Orleans,” from Pittsburgh to New Orleans. This 2,200-mile voyage, taken by the Roosevelt family in 1811, involved enduring floods, earthquakes, fires, and Native American attacks, among other challenges. It is a gripping tale of survival and ambition.
Bill is not only a talented storyteller but also a passionate lover of history. He shared the three-year effort to bring his book from the initial idea to the final published copy. We were honored to hear several readings from his work in his own words.
