Introducing The Wild Mississippi: Your Guide to Understanding and Experiencing the Natural World of Old Man River
Send us a text
For years, I’ve been visiting the places along the Mississippi and writing guidebooks about the history and culture of the towns and people. Now I’ve got something new to add to the list: a guide to the natural history of the river itself. In my new book, The Wild Mississippi: A State-by-State Guide to the River’s Natural Wonders, I describe the complex and varied world of the Mississippi River and offer practical tips about how to experience the river’s world. In this episode, just ahead of the book’s formal release on May 21, I talk about The Wild Mississippi, so you know what to expect from it: how it’s organized and what content to expect. I also pull back the curtain and describe what I set out to do with this book and why I included what I did. But, wait: there’s more! At the end of the episode, I read the preface, so you can get a sneak peek at what’s to come.
