Old Glory

Navigating the Mississippi River in a sixteen-foot motorboat, the author captures the river's unpredictable nature and the diverse lives of its riverside inhabitants. Through fishing, hunting, and engaging in discussions on theology and race relations, he offers keen insights into the heartland's disconnection from cultural centers and its yearning for a bygone era. Blending wit and a deep understanding of American life, this travel narrative is both reflective and rich in detail, echoing the powerful currents of the river itself.
