Here is a fascinating day-by-day account of the author's 315 mile canoe trip down the Hudson River, from the Adirondack Mountains, where the river is born, to New York City's Battery Park, where it empties into the sea. Full-color photographs plus a simple and lively text give young readers the feel of shooting white water, gliding through the mountainous Hudson Highlands, and, finally plowing the busy waters off the shore of Manhattan. Throughout the trip Peter Lourie serves as a thoughtful and intrepid guide to one of America's great rivers.
