2013-01-15 02:37:59| Powells Books Events Calendar
Amos Burg, a Portland native, was the first to complete transits of the free-flowing, undammed Snake and Columbia Rivers by canoe, and in 1938 he became the first to navigate the length of the Colorado River in a rubber raft. Burg is considered to be the only person known to have run all major Western rivers from source to mouth. In The Last Voyageur: Amos Burg and the Rivers of the West (Mountaineers Books), Vince Welch weaves a passionate and well-researched narrative using extensive material from Burg's own rich archives.
