Five Months on the
Missouri River: Paddling a Dugout Canoe by Thomas Elpel is a bold and
daring adventure that follows Thomas and his friends when they decided to carve
and paddle a dugout canoe along the Missouri River. It was supposed to be a
re-enactment of the journey of well-known explorers Meriwether Lewis and
William Clark. This exciting expedition began from the moment that Tom
connected with Churchill Clark, the great-great-great-great grandson of Captain
Clark. They carved a canoe and brought in other friends with additional canoes.
What followed was an adventure christened the Missouri River Corps of
Rediscovery Expedition that followed the intrepid characters as they paddled
the 2,341-mile Missouri, the trail that Lewis and Clark followed for five
months. Follow them as they encounter the natives along the way, exploring
nature, and documenting each moment with stunning photography.
This is a book like no other and the author invites readers to relive a
wonderful expedition with him and his companions. It reads like fiction, except
that the colorful pictures are so telling and real. Just the idea of following
the trail blazed by historical figures is already something incredible, but
actually spending five months leisurely on the path is like bringing history to
life. It is what happens in this book, a nonfiction book that will inspire
readers to do the one thing they have always wanted to do. Readers will
discover in the author a man athirst for adventure, incredibly creative, and
fun to be with. The book is narrated in a voice that is both passionate and
clear. Five Months on the Missouri River
offers a rollicking ride and features imagery that will instantly capture the
hearts of history aficionados and fans of nature.
