NOW AVAILABLE: Tired, hungry, lost, lonely, fogbound, shipwrecked, unable to make their way in the darkness, Steven Faulkner and his teenage son Justin are having a great time. They are on an epic journey, retracing the historic 1673 route of French explorers Marquette and Joliet along the Lake Michigan shore to Green Bay, up the Fox River, then down the Wisconsin River to the mighty Mississippi. A poet with a sense of humor, Faulkner brings the majestic American heartland to life in one of the finest books ever written about a river journey. A modern travel classic in the tradition of Blue Highways, this book will appeal to anyone who has a sense of adventure.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT WATERWALK
• Ellen Creager of the Detroit Free Press on Waterwalk
• Here is what author William Least-Heat Moon, author of Blue Highways and River Horse has to say about Steven Faulkner's Waterwalk: "Thank you so much for sending along Steve Faulkner's Waterwalk, and please pass along to him my admiration for his long voyage and for setting down his account in a most capable prose style. Well done on both counts."
Foreword Magazine Review
"A Poet, Faulkner keeps the book flowing like the water, slipping easily between history, cultural critique and riveting pictures of what the two adventurers saw on their odyssey."
