ISBN 0140063080. LCCN 82-3810. The exhilarating account of the author's journey down the Mississippi. The voyage began in September 1979 in a 16' boat on a 3 month, 2000 mile trip down the Mississippi, from Minneapolis to New Orleans. The author envelops us totally in his journey, giving us a strong, rich sense of history, of people, and of tradition that is resistant to change. He takes us to pig roasts, to church on Sunday, to sleazy bars, to a state fair that will linger in our memory, and he reveals the people he meets along the way in encounters that are both tragic and comic.
