Challenge On The Hudson River

/ Jim Dayton

Today’s post find’s two characters, Chip and Chop Dayton, daring each other to cross the Hudson River by walking across pulp wood blocks which filled the river. I’ll leave it up to you to decide the outcome. These brothers were the Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn of the Hudson River. If I had to guess, about 90% of you chose the correct outcome of the story. It’s always fun to listen to Chip, the master story teller, recount the event.

  1. I love it that you have these recordings – how did those guys survive to adulthood? and did Uncle Chop ever become a full flegged adult? He was a very big kid! I love you.
