In 1908 the young poet John Neihardt and his companions set out to run the Missouri River from the Montana headwaters country in a small power boat. He writes of the great falls, the wild upper river, the stretch to the Yellowstone and beyond, mixing rapids and breakdowns with the history of the trappers and explorers who travelled the same water.
