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.”
