Its beauty, its usefulness, and what it has done for the country

"Tells the story of a four thousand mile trip by John G. Neihardt, the Nebraska poet. He tells his story well, and exercise, adventure and thrilling experience mingle and commingle in his tale. 'The River' is the Missouri." -The Independent

Under this rather unusual title, John G. Neihardt, the Nebraska poet, tells the story of his descent of the Missouri in quest of exercise, adventure, and impressions. That he got all he bargained for, and perhaps a little more, is not to be wondered at. Being a poet as well as a man of action, the adventurer had an experience which his temperament and tastes qualified him to enjoy to the full - and his recital makes as thrilling a narrative as one is apt to find.
