Mississippi Solo. A River Quest
Category: Regional: U.S.
Author: Eddy L. Harris
Copyright/published Year: 1988 by Nick Lyons Books
ISBN: 1558210016
Binding: paperback
Since the publication of his first book, Mississippi Solo, Eddy
L. Harris has been praised for his travel writing. In this
exciting reissue of his classic travelogue, readers will come to
treasure the rich insightful prose that is as textured as the
Mississippi River itself. They will be taken by the hand by an
adventurer whose lifelong dream is to canoe the length of this
mighty river, from Minnesota to New Orleans. The trip's dangers
were legion for a Black man traveling alone, paddling from "where
there ain't no black folks to where they still don't like us
much." Barge waives loom large, wild dogs roam the wooded shores,
and, in the Arkansas dusk, two shotgun-toting bigots nearly bring
the author's dream to a bloody . Sustaining him through the hard
weeks of paddling were the hundreds of people who reached out to
share a small piece of his challenge. Mississippi Solo is a big,
rollicking, brilliant book, a wonderful piece of American
adventure, and an unforgettable story of a man testing his own
limits.
