Rivers of Change: Trailing the Waterways of Lewis and Clark - Softcover
If he was reincarnated today, Captain Meriwether Lewis could retrace the journey that his Lewis & Clark expedition made two centuries ago. Within hours he would shake his head in confusion and surprise. What became of the Missouri, Yellowstone, and Columbia rivers he traveled along? The answers come alive when told by those who live along these waterways. Following Lewis and Clark's route, author Tom Mullen spent five months exploring the Missouri, Yellowstone, and Columbia rivers. This book tells of his surprising discoveries in a landscape peppered by colorful characters, barge pilots, engineers, and biologists, and their determination to improve American rivers. This travelogue is a refreshing blend of quirky history, intriguing stories, and candid conversation from off the beaten trail.

This book tells the story of a journey taken along three rivers in the Western United States-the Missouri, Yellowstone and Columbia. In making the journey the author tries to answer three questions: How does changing a river's course affect the lives and attitudes of those who live and work along its banks? How do these changes impact wildlife? Finally, what stories best portray how rivers and attitudes shape each other? As nice a copy as you are likely to find. Seller Inventory # 002115
