This afternoon Google alerted us to an article by Andy Ostmeyer in the Joplin Globe: Worthy companions for a wild river: Eagles escort float down one of country’s inaugural wild and scenic rivers
In loving detail Ostmeyer recounts his float on the Eleven Point River, which flows through “the Irish.” This jewel of a river was among the first eight rivers designated National Wild and Scenic Rivers when Congress passed that legislation in 1968.
Ostermeyer’s musings as he floated the river addressed the Eleven Point’s past (which brought mention of our research for Mystery of the Irish Wilderness), its present and future prospects. We appreciate his mention of our work as we too give thanks for the land, the people and the river than flows through it.
Mystery of the Irish Wilderness ($18.95, ppd) and other Lens & Pen books are available on this website, on amazon.com and at Barnes & Noble.
