Farrar & Rinehart, 1944-01-01. hardcover. Very Good. 8x5x1. Hardcover and dust jacket. Good binding and cover. Clean, unmarked pages. Shelf wear to dj. <br> The Rivers of America Series is a landmark series of books on American rivers, for the most part written by literary figures rather than historians. "This is to be a literary and not a historical series. The authors of these books will be novelists and poets. On them, now in America, as in all lands and times, rests the real responsibility of interpretation. If the average American is less informed about his country than any other national, knows and cares less about its past and about its present in all sections but the one where he resides, it is because books prepared for his instruction were not written by artists." - Constance Skinner, editor of the series.
