Eulenspiegel on the Mississippi: A 20th Century River Trek

In June 1981, an international assortment of mostly broke college graduates met at a public park outside Kansas City and built a 16x24 foot raft. The "Eulenspiegel" and its crew, propelled only by the river currents and four 12-foot deck-mounted oars, floated down the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers for two months that summer, 1,500 miles to New Orleans. This photography monograph is the story of that 20th Century walking-pace journey down America's spine.
