Waterwalk: A Passage of Ghosts [Lingua Inglese] - Brossura

Tired, hungry, lost, fogbound, shipwrecked, unable to make their way through the darkness,, Steven Faulkner and his teenage son Justin are having a wonderful time. They are on an epic journey, retracing the historic 1673 route of pioneer French explorers Louis Joliet and Jesuit Priest Jacques Marquette along the Lake Michigan shore to Green Bay, up the Fox River, then down the Wisconsin to the mighty Mississippi. The Faulkners depend on the kindness of strangers who understand that no dam is high enough to stop this intrepid pair who must walk part of their water route to portage around the works of modern man. Along the way they make news in a terrifying accident, travel through uncharted waters and create a story that puts Waterwalk in the front rank of travel literature. A poet with a sense of humor, Steven Faulkner brings the majestic American heartland to life in this unforgettable story. Waterwalk is one of the finest books ever written about an American river journey and will appeal to anyone who has a sense of adventure.
