Episode 194: The Mississippi Rediscovered – A Writer's Search
Manage episode 436936931 series 2798617
“Down the River” is more than a variant of a poker game. For the writer it can be a stream for words; for the adventurer it can be a highway past great cities and alongside bountiful wetlands. Boyce Upholt, a prolific author who describes himself as a “nature critic” talks to Louisiana Life Executive Editor Errol Laborde, along with Producer Kelly Massicot, about his new book, “The Great River: The Making and Unmaking of the Mississippi.” The greatest of all the continent’s rivers, the Mississippi River provides life for much of the country’s central section. It is also a source of wealth and concerns; particularly monitoring its levees as well as assuring that the stream does not wander off course. The book includes stories of canoeing down river; the area’s blues heritage; and the challenge of keeping the river environmentally sound. Meanwhile, “ol’ man river he just keeps rollin’ along.”
