Items related to Waterwalk: A Passage of Ghosts
Tired, hungry, lost, lonely, fogbound, shipwrecked, unable to make their way in the darkness, Steven Faulkner and his teenage son Justin are having a great time. They are on an epic journey, retracing the historic 1673 route of French explorers Marquette and Joliet along the Lake Michigan shore to Green Bay, up the Fox River, then down the Wisconsin River to the mighty Mississippi. A poet with a sense of humor, Faulkner brings the majestic American heartland to life in one of the finest books ever written about a river journey. A modern travel classic in the tradition of Blue Highways, this book will appeal to anyone who has a sense of adventure.
Here is what author William Least-Heat Moon, author of Blue Highways and River Horse has to say about Steven Faulkner's Waterwalk. Thank you so much for sending along Steve Faulkner's Waterwalk, and please pass along to him my admiration for his long voyage and for setting down his account in a most capable prose style. Well done on both counts.

From the Inside Flap:
From Steven Faulkner's Waterwalk: "By late afternoon, the water had taken on the colors and textures of an impressionist painting, dark textured blues changing into turquoise and grey, to broad, flecked gradations of violet. We were brushing through a Monet, freely revising a frameless Cezanne, smoothing a stroke through a vast, agitated Van Gogh."
