Descriere
As a child in England, Raban read "Huckleberry Finn" and dreamed of floating down the Mississippi. "Old Glory" offers the chronicle of this realization of his dream--achieved thirty years later--when he navigated the river, from Minneapolis to Morgan City, Louisiana, in a 16-foot motorboat.
