River and I

In 1908 John Neihardt (1881-1973) and two companions traveled the Missouri River--about two thousand miles--in a twenty-foot canoe. Originally published inOuting Magazineas a series of articles, The River and Idescribes their adventures on that wild waterway before it was dammed by the Army Corps of Engineers and points out storied sites along the shore. The result transcends journalism; Neihardt does for the Missouri what Twain did for the Mississippi. This Landmark edition makes available once more the book that was issued in 1910, two years before Neihardt began work onA Cycle of the Westand twenty-two years before the publication ofBlack Elk Speaks.Neihardt, John G. is the author of 'River and I' with ISBN 9780803233355 and ISBN 0803233353.
