| From its modest source at Lake Itasca in northern Minnesota, the Mississippi runs 2,322 miles to the Gulf of Mexico. It is the second-longest river in the United States, exceeded only by the Missouri. One September, Peter Lourie decided to explore the river by canoe, by bike, by car, and on foot. His adventure with the Big River is an encounter with the present and the past. Illustrated with full-color and archival photographs, the book offers a vivid firsthand look at perhaps the greatest American river, a river steeped in history and folklore. |
