Fantastic photo illustrated book of epic 2400 mile canoe trip down the Missouri river in a hollowed
Published by NMiller , 2 years ago
Love this book! Elpel and the 4th great grandson of Capt. William Clark of Lewis and Clark fame chopped out this log into a beautiful canoe, then paddled her 2400 miles to St. Louis. I've never read ANY paddling book with over 700 color photos before! WOW, who puts this many images into a book? Great to see all the images along the route traveled by Lewis and Clark. These guys did a lot of natural foraging for wild plants too,which was great to see. Really well done book!
