{"product_id":"the-river-and-i-9780803283725","title":"The River and I","description":"In 1908 John Neihardt (1881-1973) and two companions traveled the Missouri River--about two thousand miles--in a twenty-foot canoe. Originally published in \u003ci\u003eOuting Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e as a series of articles, \u003ci\u003eThe River and I\u003c\/i\u003e describes their adventures on that wild waterway before it was dammed by the Army Corps of Engineers and points out storied sites along the shore. The result transcends journalism; Neihardt does for the Missouri what Twain did for the Mississippi. This Landmark edition makes available once more the book that was issued in 1910, two years before Neihardt began work on \u003ci\u003eA Cycle of the West\u003c\/i\u003e and twenty-two years before the publication of \u003ci\u003eBlack Elk Speaks\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInternationally known for \u003ci\u003eBlack Elk Speaks\u003c\/i\u003e (also available as a Bison Book), John G. Neihardt wrote in almost all major genres: fiction, lyric and epic poetry, biography, autobiography, travelogue, literary criticism, and the familiar essay. Timothy G. Anderson is an editor at the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e. He is currently conducting research for a biography of John G.
