Mississippi River: A Journey down the Father of Waters

48 pp. | Boyds | September, 2000 | Trade ISBN 1-56397-756-7 $$17.95
(4) 4-6 Lourie explores the entire Mississippi River by canoe, bike, car, and foot. A lively travelogue format allows him to combine accounts of the Mississippi's role in American history with descriptions of people and places associated with the river today. The transitions between past and present usually work seamlessly but are occasionally abrupt. The text is illustrated with color photos.
