Publisher's Summary:

Science magazine describes the Pascagoula River of southeast Mississippi as the last unaltered large river system in the lower 48 states and southern Canada. Along its banks and watershed, 600,000 acres of public lands - wildlife management areas, national forest, wilderness areas, national wildlife refuges, Nature Conservancy preserves - ensure the creation of a tremendous natural river system.

To explore this sanctum, authors Ernest Herndon and Scott B. Williams traveled its entire 200-plus mile length by canoe and sea kayak, respectively. Each floated one of two major tributaries, Herndon taking the Leaf, Williams the Chickasawhay. They then met on the main Pascagoula and continued on to the Gulf Coast. Along the way, the two saw alligators and ospreys, conservationists and good ole boys. They ran rapids and explored swamps, dodged logjams and investigated possible pollution sources.

The audiobook gives the armchair explorer a vivid feeling of what it would be like to float this wonderful river and provides a wealth of information about what makes it special and the problems that threaten it.

The book is published by University Press of Mississippi.

Critic Reviews:

"The Pascagoula and its enveloping forests...are among America's natural treasures. I am very pleased to see them celebrated...by this fine book." (Edward O. Wilson)

Second time around

I just reread this book and enjoyed it all over again. I've floated and fished on several stretches of the Pascagoula, Chickasawhay and Leaf rivers and consider it my home river. My ancestors settled on the upper Pascagoula before this area was part of the US and my family once owned land on the river with virgin timber. GREAT BOOK.

Paddling the Pascagoula

This book gives local perspective and knowledge of navigating the waters of the Pascagoula River for Kayakers and those who would take their canoes to this water. Good information and helpful information for longer floats or just a day.

Interesting

The book was like new condition. It made interesting reading, although it could have been spiced up a bit with a few fishing experiences.and of course color photographs.

This book literally took me on a trip down these wonderful waterways. I could literally see the banks of hardwoods and Cyprus in my mind, along with the flows of each waterway. I particularly enjoyed the playful ribbing the two gentlemen engaged in, over their different choices of vessels, and their different styles of how to handle a morning waking up on the river. Very enjoyable and I highly recommend it!

A great and informative read

Scott Williams and Ernest Herndon nailed it with this book. Very well researched and written from two very different styles. Great friends and authors, these two should colaborate more often. Read this book to learn about one of the last unspoiled places in the deep south.
