From the Publisher:

Chris Markham set out an expedition of one to see the mighty Mississippi for himself. Alone and without introduction or recommendation, he entered the world of the river people to hitchhike by boat to the Gulf of Mexico. "Not all of us, however, enthusiastic as we might become, would have the courage, energy, perseverance . . . to undertake such an unusual venture. Nevertheless, Markham's Mississippi Odyssey is a veritable handbook for those who would try it." Cdr. E. J. Quinby, USN (Ret.).
