WICKLIFFE "Wick" WALKER

... all experience is an arch wherethro’
Gleams that untravelled world, whose margin fades
For ever and for ever when I move.

—Alfred, Lord Tennyson, poet, 1809-1892

“A river is a liquid mountain, though you may have never thought of them this way, until reading Walker’s dramatic, highly-researched homage to venturing into the unknown. Like Into Thin Air, this book takes you to places from which there may be no return. The shock for those who’ve never paddled a stream will be that rivers are so alive, voice-filled, dangerous, and welcoming. Rivers are places, Walker writes, where the current ‘flows but one direction — into the future.’ Walker’s experiences as an elite paddler, meditative and enormously dramatic, will have river veterans nodding in agreement and surprise. I loved the journey.”  ​

—Doug Stanton, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, Horse Soldiers
