Description
Spirited stories of the heroes and scoundrels who explored the Big Muddy—now back in print!The Mississippi River has intrigued the footloose for centuries.
Here, for the first time in paperback, are briskly told biographies of the chief protagonists in the drama, with Old Man River as the constant and invincible antagonist.
From conquistadors to nineteenth-century gentlemen explorers, Timothy Severin depicts the disasters and adventures of familiar, but often misunderstood, figures in American history, as well as the chicanery of others, less well known, who used the river for their own purposes.
