Summary "The riveting story of Dick Conant, an American folk hero who, over the course of more than twenty years, solo canoed thousands of miles of American rivers -- and then in 2016 disappeared off the coast of North Carolina."-- Provided by publisher.
Over the course of more than twenty years, Dick Conant solo canoed thousands of miles of American rivers. In 2016 Conant disappeared off the coast of North Carolina; his canoe washed up a few months later, without any sign of his body. McGrath set out to find the people whose lives Conant had touched-- and has created a portrait of a complex man who was as troubled as he was charasmatic. His book is also a portrait of an America we rarely see: a nation of unconventional characters, small river towns, and long-forgotten waterways. -- adapted from jacket
