In 1908 John Neihardt 18811973 and two companions traveled the MissouriRiver in a twentyfoot canoe beginning at the headwaters in Montana and endingup at Sioux City Iowa. The River and I describes their adventures on that wildwaterway before it was dammed by the Army Corps of Engineers and points outstoried sites along the shore. In sum Neihardt does for the Missouri whatTwain did for the Mississippi. «
