Summary |
Up on the River is John Madson & rsquo;s loving and often hilarious tribute to the people, animal life, and places of the Upper Mississippi. Madson & rsquo;s Upper Mississippi is the part & ldquo;between the saints, & rdquo; from St. Louis to St. Paul, and where for thirty years he explored the bright waters of the upper reaches of the mighty river itself as well as the tangled multitude of sloughs, cuts, and side channels that wander through its wooded islands and floodplain forests. ℗¡ & ldquo;Some of my best time on the River has been in the company of game wardens, biologists, commercial fishermen. |
