Paperback. Condizione: Good. Tales of ambition, terror, rivalry, adventure, endurance, friendship, and love on the waters of the Mississippi River and beyond. In this collection, award-winning writer Frank Bures tells true stories as varied as the waters, weather, and rhythms of a canoe trip. From the terror of two kayakers who barely escaped the 2011 Pagami Creek Fire in the Boundary Waters to two young campers who experienced a supernatural scare in Canada's Quetico Provincial Park in the 1970s to the author's own miraculous rescue, Bures shares varied takes on what happens when you push the river.  The heart of the book is a telling of the lost history of the Paul Bunyan Canoe Derby, an annual 450-mile race run on the Upper Mississippi in the 1940s and 1950s that gave canoe-racing legend Gene Jensen his start--and which changed the course of modern canoeing. The tale includes the dominance of racers from the Leech Lake Indian Reservation, including many members of the Tibbets family, and the unacknowledged contributions of Ojibwe canoe builders Jim and Bernie Smith, whose design features are now part of the modern canoe-racing landscape.  Pushing the River is an essential read for anyone who loves what legendary canoeist Bob O'Hara called "the sense of perpetual adventure" that comes in the seat of a canoe, where you never quite know what you will encounter around the river's next bend.…

Most Americans do not realize that the US imports 2/3rds of its oil from other countries. Hence, when some turmoil brews where the US oil supply must be protected, the result is often a costly and bloody war. The oil is not under US control and many countries that are hostile to the us control both the supply and the price. As long as the US continues to need this oil, it will remain at the mercy of such countries. Thus "The Oil Hostage". A pristine and clean copy.…
