Would anyone go on a trip
down the Mississippi River like Huckleberry Finn? Following Huck by S.R.
Zalesny takes readers back to the summer of 1959 when six young friends floated
on the Mississippi River for three weeks on their homemade raft. Their
inspiration came from the book Adventures of Huckleberry Finn when their
English professor challenged them to build a raft and go on a river escapade as
Huckleberry Finn did on his fictional river rafting adventure. Since the river
trip was a figment of Mark Twain’s imagination it would be wonderful if they
did it!
The story is adrenaline-charged.
The book covers the challenges faced as they go about making the raft, hauling
it on Route 66 to Hannibal, Missouri, and as they embark upon their quest down
the Mississippi towards New Orleans. Water has many moods and these young men
realized that and the dangers that occur once their journey began. The author
shares their preparation for building the raft, plotting their course, and
finally the trip that will leave readers excited and filled with wonder. The
memoir is an adventure of a lifetime when it not only came to raft the
Mississippi River but also to learn more about each other, the young women some
fell in love with, and the people that live alongside the river. Let us venture
along with them and see where the exciting journey took them.
This book is truly a must-read for all those who love adventure!
