In the Land of the Wild Onion
Travels Along Vermont's Winooski River
Description
Charles Fish sets off on a journey down Vermont's Winooski River, from the headwaters in Cabot to river's end at Lake Champlain, in order to rediscover the river valley of his youth and to consider the power of place in all our lives. Recounting travels by foot, car, and canoe (which Fish christens "The Tub"), this book offers engaging and often humorous tales of adventures along the river.
Charles Fish, a native Vermonter and retired professor of English, lives in Dummerston, Vermont, with his wife Eleanor.
