On the River: A Variety of Canoe and Small Boat Voyages

EAN/UPC/ISBN Code 9780911378771


On the River chronicles the kinship of people, craft and natural wonder through sensitive accounts of late nineteenth and early twentieth century voyages by canoe and small boat. These are deeply personal experiences told in clear, often moving prose by such well known writers as Henry David Thoreau, Frederic Remington and Edward Chichester. This book adds a distinct chapter to American history and literature.
