“One of the most fascinating books I have ever read…”

“…hard to put the book down…kudos to the author, Daniel Taylor!”

~ Amazon Reader Reviews

Born the son of a wealthy southern gentleman, John Douglas Taylor would struggle to navigate the often turbulent, grey blue waters of a fledgling nation. Ultimately, though, the resilient Taylor would rise above his family’s Tennessee plantation to discover his own unique purpose in life—innovation.

It was during this remarkable era of industry that young Mr. Taylor would pack his belongings and move his family to a place where opportunities were as vast as the land itself—

the newly-formed Republic of Texas.

As a war between the states loomed on the near horizon, Mr. Taylor would soon recognize an opportunity to convert a riverboat steamer into a US Navy hospital ship—the Red Rover.

From the rhythmic movement of the Mississippi’s Grey Blue Water, Taylor’s future would begin to unfurl before him—inviting both danger and adventure—luring him into an eventful career transporting both cargo and people from the South to the North…and back again.

“Author Daniel Taylor’s notable craftsmanship shines through in a relevant, significant, and satisfying historical read,” said Kathie McGuire, director of Brighton Publishing LLC. “Grey Blue Water reveals an inherent knowledge of life in the early years of the United States of America and the transformative ideas that would spur the growth of a nation.”

Author Daniel Taylor was born in New Orleans, but finds himself spending much of his time working in the Washington, D.C. area. The legacy of Mr. Taylor’s ancestors continues to ignite his writing spirit, while spurring him onward in historical research and his sincere dedication to promote the truth as seen through the eyes of those who lived it. Currently, Mr. Taylor calls Manassas, Virginia his home.
