1st EDITION. This copy is LIKE NEW, the text is clear, bright, and unmarked; binding is tight. The jacket is very good : basically intact, including perfect color and design, but tear on rear bottom, also some wrinkling on edges. We have a five star rating because of our fulfilment success and because our descriptions are accurate. On foreign sales, because of the heavy weight of this book, we have to charge extra for shipping: however, we will only charge the difference between our regular shipping rate and the extra charge that the U.S.Post Office asks to ship the book. We guarantee: NO NASTY SURPRISES.

Reviews
Not since Bakeless's Eyes of Discovery have we had a book this good, a book written by those who have been shaped by the rivers in their lives.
Editor Mancall's 1990 version of this book was entitled Roll On, Rivers: Rivers in the Life of the American People (National Council on the Aging); this latest revision contains more of the stories and legends he's collected since. From those who consider rivers to be the work of God to those who fear they will be destroyed by the work of humans, these waterways have been at the forefront of virtually every major political, historical, and social turning point in American history. The editors have taken writings ranging from Thomas Jefferson to Oscar Hammerstein III that feature rivers as their centerpiece. The result is a mixed bag that will appeal to any reader living on or near a river, as well as to readers looking for a truly eclectic collection of literature. Recommended for large public libraries and for those located in cities where rivers play an important role in the daily lives of residents.?Joseph L. Carlson, Vandenberg Air Force Base Lib., Cal.
