5.0 out of 5 stars
The only thing better than this book is a personal tour.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Discover! America's Great River Road: Volume III: St. Louis, Missouri, to Memphis, Tennessee (Perfect Paperback)
Having traveled and lived in the areas described in Vol.3, The Lower Mississippi, from St. Louis, Missouri to Memphis, Tennessee, and descended from a family of river rats, I can say that I've "Been there, done that, got the T-shirt." Reading Pat's book is like traveling along with her as she explores the Great River Road along the mighty Mississippi River. I was especially impressed with the with the book's scope and readability. Pat has included personal insights from area inhabitants, collected geographical, historical and societal information and spread it all liberally throughout the travelogue. This is one hard book to put down, and if you ever decide to visit the area you'll have plenty of reference material to use. You will feel like you know the place already, and have gotten your own t-shirt. Jim Pankey USN (Ret.)

New guide highlights heritage, natural history of Miss River,
By A Customer
This review is from: Discover! America's Great River Road: St. Paul, Minnesota, to Dubuque, Iowa : The Upper Mississippi River (Paperback)
Rolling on the River..........
In a few weeks, it'll be road-trip weather,
and we have some of the nation's prettiest highways at our fingertips--US Hwy 61 and
several other state and county highways form the parkway known as
AMERICA's Great River Road. Making that drive even easier is a new guide:
"DISCOVER! AMERICA'S GREAT RIVER ROAD, Volume 1."
This 240-page guide highlights the heritage, natural history and recreational
activities available along the Mississippi River from St. Paul, Mn., to Dubuque,
Iowa. It includes maps, historical and geological points of interest, bike trails,
bird watching spots and short features on small towns, parks, and villages.

Discover! America's Great River Road,

This review is from: Discover! America's Great River Road: St. Paul, Minnesota, to Dubuque, Iowa : The Upper Mississippi River (Paperback)
While planning for yet another summer of rides on the motorcycle,my wife and I had this book sent as part of our research. We were very disappointed, it has 5 stars. So what is the problem? For one thing it is not well written nor does it seem up to date. We travel a lot, all over the USA and the world. It is like asking about a good cafe, first you need to know the people who felt it was great. Do they know good food? We know well done books and this is not one. I move it to the waste fill.
