While road-tripping, I love reading books about the area or region that I am driving through. I’m keeping that tradition alive on this trip. These are the books in my queue:
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain (audio version)
“A timeless American classic that follows the journey of a young boy named Huck Finn as he escapes the constraints of civilization and embarks on a raft voyage down the Mississippi River.” (Amazon)
The Great River: The Making and Unmaking of the Mississippi, by Boyce Upholt
“A sweeping history of the Mississippi River—and the centuries of human meddling that have transformed both it and America.” (Amazon)
Wicked River: The Mississippi When it Last Ran Wild, by Lee Sandlin
“A riveting narrative look at one of the most colorful, dangerous, and peculiar places in America’s historical landscape: the strange, wonderful, and mysterious Mississippi River of the 19th century.”
Onward and southward!
