Stepping twice into the river

"In Stepping Twice Into the River, Robert King recounts his exploration of the "almost unnoticeable" along North Dakota's Sheyenne River, from its headwaters to river's end. With each experience along the way - tracing a military campaign, canoeing the river, visiting a ghost town, and even trying to sleep in an ancient Cheyenne village - King delves deeper into the river's culture, bringing to light different aspects of the plains. In the hands of this gifted thinker and writer, local facts yield universal metaphor."--Jacket.
