Subject: US coast to coast by water
Sender: Ben Harding <[log in to unmask]>
Some time ago there was an inquiry about the possibility of
traversing the U.S. by water. I posted that inquiry to
[log in to unmask], a list supporting discussion of river
issues. Among the spirited discussion was the following message
from Brad Dimock with some information that might be interesting to
Maps-L people.

==========================
See The Doing of the Thing, by Conley, Welch and myself. One
chapter gives an account of a coast to coast via the Columbia,
Snake, Yellowstone, Missouri, Mississippi, Ohio, Allegheny,
Niagara, Erie Canal, Mohawk and Hudson. Lewis Freeman did a
similar trip in the 20s or 30s, and William Least Heat Moon did one
recently memorialized in his book Riverhorse. On each of these
there are many reservoir crossings and a few substantial portages.
