CROSSING THE DRIFTLESS
IN THE PRESS
“
“A glorious paddle:
Part travel journal, part history lesson, and part science class—all bound together in fewer than 250 pages.Armchair travelers might be tempted to rent a canoe this summer.”
“
“Engaging, multifaceted, and accessible, Crossing the Driftless is like no other canoe trip book. We learn a wealth of information about ecology, geology, people, and politics on the riverways.”
“
“Delightful reading. Diebel makes the waterways the stars of her story, living characters with personalities and moods and varying degrees of popularity, beauty, and neglect.”
