Silver Ribbon Skinny is a work of historical fiction. The main character, Skinny Nye, is based upon the character Pearl Nye, who was born in 1872 and died in 1950, just short of his 79th birthday. Pearl began writing a story about one of his family’s trips on the Ohio & Erie Canal.

Other characters (specifically, Miss Uno) and events in the book are based on accounts found in old newspaper clippings.
