"Read this account after spending several days on the Mighty Mo, Spitzer perfectly captures its cantankerousness and its ability to both confound and delight us.  His descriptions of paddling the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers are inspirational and a tribute to the kindness of strangers and the power of “river angels,” without them such long distance adventures would be impossible.  Recommended for paddlers and land lubbers alike."
