Description:
In 1995, Heat-Moon set out on his most ambitious trip yet, from New York harbor to the breakwater of Astoria, Oregon, almost entirely by water. Aboard his little dory Nikawa ("river horse" in Osage), he logged more than five thousand miles, completing a trek no American had ever managed, yet following in the wake of our greatest explorers, from Henry Hudson to Lewis and Clark.
Expand description
En route, Heat-Moon encountered odder adventures, bigger and nastier cities, lonelier spaces, stranger people, and more turbulent waters than even he had expected. He and Nikawa braved record-shattering floods, foundered on hull-crushing sandbars, and overcame innumerable other travails great and small. The often uproarious, often terrifying narrative teems with high adventure and fascinating characters. Heat-Moon, a sage of the heartland, offers a singular arteriogram of our nation and its folk at the century's edge.
River Horse is masterly in its own right. Together with Blue Highways and PrairyErth, it is the capstone of a peerless trilogy.
