Tuesday Travel Book Discussion: Life on the Mississippi - Rinker Buck

Come discuss Life on the Mississippi: an epic American adventure by Rinker Buck. 

The eagerly awaited return of master American storyteller Rinker Buck, whose last book, The Oregon Trail, was a triumphant New York Times best seller, this is another epic, enchanting blend of history and adventure in which Buck builds an authentic wooden flatboat from the early 1800s and pilots it down the Mississippi River, illuminating the forgotten past of the river and its grand "flatboat era" that dramatically expanded the country in the decades before Western expansion.
