Hudson
River
An Adventure from the Mountains to the Sea
By Peter Lourie |
Born as a mountain
brook, the Hudson River courses through dangerous rapids
and waterfalls in a dramatic plunge of 4,000 feet. Then,
remarkably, the river slows and widens, becoming over the
next 154 miles a massive arm of the sea, with salt water
and powerful tides. This exciting day-by-day account of
Peter Lourie's journey by canoe gives young readers the
feel of shooting wilderness whitewater, gliding through
the fjord-like Hudson Highlands, and, finally, plying the
shipping lanes off Manhatten's shore.
Reviews:
"Peter Lourie's adventure in a canoe captures the spirit
of the Hudson River from the mountains to the sea." - Robert
H. Boyle, author of The Hudson Rive: A Natural and Unnatural
History
