Meandering - Notes of a Mississippi Riverlorian

Meandering is a combination of journeys Mike has taken in the car, on a variety of boats, on a bike and on foot to discover the variations and stories of the Mississippi.As the backbone of the continent, draining thirty-one states and two provinces between the Rockies and the Appalachians, the Mississippi collects both the waters and the stories of North America.Now as a paddlewheel Riverlorian, Mike travels the river sharing these stories, and this book collects both the adventures and the stories so the reader can understand both the Great River and the diversity it represents.
