In the summer of 1997, renowned nature photographer Lockwood journeyed the length of the Mississippi River. This high-tech Huck Finn trained his lens on spectacular scenes, creating images of the life pulsing in and near this vital artery. As he shows, the river has many faces. At its birthplace in Minnesota it is nothing more than a trickle among rocks. But as it serpentines south, it slowly grows until, at its end, it pours daily over 420 billion gallons of water into the Gulf of Mexico. Lockwood captures the river in all of its moods and offers intimate images of the creatures that make their home in the river or along its shores. He also introduces the people, both ordinary and extraordinary, that together make the river a thriving community.--From publisher description.
