Review Quotes:
"A good story flows like a river, revealing fresh territory, gathering tributary streams along the way. Lisa Dill's tale of a fortnight traveling along the muddy, moody Missouri is enlivened by a wealth of influences, including the wit of Mark Twain, the adventurous spirit of Lewis and Clark, the wisdom of Indigenous peoples, and the lore of scholars. Her own keen reflections flow through every page. Climb aboard the venerable boat she compares to 'a floating circus tent' and share the journey."--Scott Russell Sanders, author of The Way of Imagination and A Conservationist Manifesto
