520    In this abridgement of River-Horse, the pre-eminent 
       chronicler of American back roads -- who has given us the 
       classics Blue Highways and Prairyerth -- recounts his 
       singular voyage through American waters from sea to sea. 
       Along the route, he offers a lyrical and ceaselessly 
       fascinating shipboard perspective on the country and its 
       rivers, lakes, canals, and landscapes. Brimming with 
       history, drama, and wisdom, River-Horse belongs in the 
       pantheon of American travel literature. In his most 
       ambitious journey ever, Heat-Moon sets off aboard a small 
       boat he named Nikawa ("river horse" in Osage) from the 
       Atlantic at New York Harbor in hopes of entering the 
       Pacific near Astoria, Oregon. He and his companion, 
       Pilotis, struggle to cover some five thousand watery miles
       -- more than any other cross-country river traveler has 
       ever managed -- often following in the wakes of our most 
       famous explores, from Henry Hudson to Lewis and Clark. En 
       route, the voyagers confront massive floods, submerged 
       rocks, dangerous weather, and their own doubts about 
       whether they can complete the trip. But the hard days 
       yield up incomparable pleasures: strangers generous with 
       help and eccentric tales, landscapes unchanged since 
       Sacagawea saw them, riverscapes flowing with a lively past,
       and the growing belief that efforts to protect our lands 
       and waters are beginning to pay off. And, throughout its 
       course, the expedition enjoys coincidences so breathtaking
       as to suggest the intervention of a divine and witty 
       Providence. Teeming with humanity and high adventure, Heat
       -Moon's account is an unsentimental and original 
       arteriogram of our nation at the edge of the Millennium.
