{"product_id":"river-horse-the-logbook-of-a-boat-across-america","title":"River-Horse: The Logbook of a Boat Across America","description":"The author of Blue Highways and PrairyErth \"takes us on a lifetime voyage full of imagery, insight and appreciation.\" --Cleveland Plain Dealer\nIn his most ambitious journey ever, William Least Heat-Moon sets off aboard a small boat named Nikawa (\"river horse\" in Osage) from the Atlantic at New York Harbor in hopes of entering the Pacific near Astoria, Oregon. He and his companion, Pilotis, struggle to cover some 5,000 watery miles, often following in the wakes of our most famous explorers, from Henry Hudson to Lewis and Clark.\nEn route, the voyagers confront massive floods, dangerous weather, and their own doubts about whether they can complete the trip. But the hard days yield incomparable pleasures: generous strangers, landscapes untouched since Sacajawea saw them, riverscapes flowing with a lively past, and the growing belief that efforts to protect our lands and waters are beginning to pay off.\nTeeming with humanity, humor, and high adventure, River-Horse is an unsentimental and original arteriogram of our nation at the millennium.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0140298606\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UI56001Y7R_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Least Heat-Moon, William\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
