Beskrivelse

For river lovers, paddling enthusiasts, history buffs, and everyone who likes stories of courage, strength, and adventure Amos Burg ran all the major rivers of the West when they still flowed freely and potential danger was just around the next bend Part early 20th-century history, part adventure, part biography of the West's first commerical outdoor guide "What is this thing in me that enables me to leave comforts and a wide variety of entertainments and feel a strange satisfaction wandering down a cheerless and indifferent river, enduring hardships and eating very little and exposed to all sorts of weather . . . tonight even as I sit shivering and listening to the patter of the rain, I see myself in many places all over the world, wandering like a gull on the winds, working with the ideals of Truth and Beauty as part of my vision to bring these things back with me for other people to see." Amos Burg, Yukon River, July 1928
