{"product_id":"veltie-and-prince-shelly-pruitt-9798668604234","title":"Veltie and Prince: The Advent of Drift Boating","description":"Veltie Pruitt invented the light drift boat in 1926. In 1928, after making several boats, he partnered with Prince Helfrich, made him a boat, and the two men set off on a decade of adventure on the wild rapid rivers of Oregon and Idaho. They boated the McKenzie, Upper Rogue, Lower Rogue, Crooked, Metolius, Deschutes, John Day, Smith, Willamette, Middle Fork of the Salmon, and other rivers including sections now flooded by man-made dams. Their courageous explorations were celebrated in film and news stories and became lore along the McKenzie River. In this book their journals, news interviews, films, notes and other materials are drawn into a pictorial account of each separate river trip by Veltie's grandson Paul Kingery, with Shelly Pruitt and Dick Helfrich.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shelly Pruitt, Dick Helfrich, Paul Martin Kingery\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8668604236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798668604234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/22\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.48d","brand":"Shelly Pruitt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070443876607,"sku":"9798668604234","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0f785721-acff-4cb2-9a2a-f6d95901b521.jpg?v=1685430412","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/veltie-and-prince-shelly-pruitt-9798668604234","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
