TRISTAN JONES

Tristan's stories are sometimes a stretch of the imagination to visualize for some modern day river adventurers. Perhaps that is because of his disdain for commercialization of the freedom available from living on the water, but he was certainly a direct person and capable of putting forth his always fair views. This story inspires one to take the same path on the Rhein/Danube voyage which is no longer quite so improbable because of the finished canal between the rivers, and the governments are not so harsh as they were in Tristan's time. This is a refreshing change from the historical/cultural books about central and eastern Europe, which are usually written by literary academics traveling under more probable circumstances, i.e. someone else tends to the details that Jones was forced to handle without large disposable funds.
