Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A poignant voyage of discovery down the great Mississippi. Praised by such authors as John Barth, and George V. Higgins, Dan Spurr's gently powerful memoir, Steered by the Falling Stars, captured the hearts of readers with its story of death, rebirth, and redemption and its evocative description of life under sail. Now, Spurr takes us on another adventure, a voyage into not only the heartland of contemporary America but also back into the rough and ready days of exploration and discovery 250 years ago. Following the trail of the enigmatic French explorer Rene de La Salle, Spurr takes his seven-year-old son Steve and his grown daughter Adriana down the Mississippi from Chicago to New Orleans in the rundown, underpowered Belle. Throughout the journey, the juxtaposition of modern America on the river's banks and the untamed wilds of La Salle's day, as revealed through journals and historical documents, illuminates the changes in the land and its people over the intervening centuries. The inexorable flow of Spurr's clean and honest prose mirrors that of this greatest of American rivers. The voices of the river's denizens and the keen observations of the author's young and wide-eyed shipmates take us deep into the heart of an ever-changing American landscape.

Book excerpt: "For over a century, researchers, writers, and residents in the neighborhood of Holy Hill in Washington County, Wisconsin have believed the legend that the famed missionary Father Jacques Marquette, a priest of the Society of Jesus, or the Jesuits, visited Holy Hill in the 1670s. They heard of old Indian tales that described Marquette raising a cross on the summit. Another account related the story of a mysterious figure named François Soubrio, who, on finding Marquette's map at an old monastery in Quebec, followed Marquette's trail and became a religious recluse and hermit at the site. Local settlers referred to Soubrio as the "Hermit on the Hill." How true are the Indian traditions? Can narrative of Soubrio be believed? No one has ever examined the Legend of Marquette at Holy Hill and judged it's authenticity. Thus, the legend has remained unchallenged -- until now. Marquette's journals of his voyages along the western shore of Lake Michigan in 1673 and 1674 quickly reveal the legend to be an illusion. How did this legend begin? What truths are revealed by peeling away the mask of this fiction? This book examines the Legend of Marquette at Holy Hill, and while the great Jesuit missionary never visited the site, a more fascinating story emerges, a story that reveals even deeper, more profound questions that beg to be answered." -- Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is unthinkingly said and often, that America is not old enough to have developed a legendary era, for such an era grows backward as a nation grows forward. No little of the charm of European travel is ascribed to the glamour that history and fable have flung around old churches, castles, and the favored haunts of tourists, and the Rhine and Hudson are frequently compared, to the prejudice of the latter, not because its scenery lacks in loveliness or grandeur, but that its beauty has not been humanized by love of chivalry or faerie, as that of the older stream has been. Yet the record of our country's progress is of deep import, and as time goes on the figures seen against the morning twilight of our history will rise to more commanding stature, and the mists of legend will invest them with a softness or glory that shall make reverence for them spontaneous and deep. Washington hurling the stone across the Potomac may live as the Siegfried of some Western saga, and Franklin invoking the lightnings may be the Loki of our mythology. The bibliography of American legends is slight, and these tales have been gathered from sources the most diverse: records, histories, newspapers, magazines, oral narrative—in every case reconstructed. The pursuit of them has been so long that a claim may be set forth for some measure of completeness. This edition contains several hundred myths and legends from all parts of the country.
