In 2005, Dennis Van Norman climbed into a kayak for the first time to spend an afternoon "Huck Finning" down the Mississippi River with his son and grandson. Little did he know, what started as an innocent, 8-mile kayaking introduction would eventually become a passion-or an addiction. He spent thirteen years, from his sixties through his mid-seventies, kayaking the length of the Mississippi, bit by bit, traveling more than 2,500 river miles from northern Minnesota to the southern tip of Louisiana in a boat built for one. From Minnesota to Mile Zero on the Mississippi is the story of how one traveler fully experienced and embraced the Mississippi River and its surroundings. It casts light on the Mississippi River's history, geography, and sociology, but it is a book about more than the river itself-it's also about the individuals and characters living along the Mississippi's shores. From the local foods and music to the customs and history, each experience is sandwiched between moments of pure serenity and those of sheer terror. This is the story of a journey of discovery on the country's most celebrated waterway, and an exploration of the wonderment, joy, and fear that will invariably grab hold of you when you're sitting alone in a 14-foot plastic boat on America's greatest river.
