What to expect
Doyle tells the epic story of America and its rivers, from the U.S. Constitution's roots in interstate river navigation, the origins of the Army Corps of Engineers, the discovery of gold in 1848, and the construction of the Hoover Dam and the TVA during the New Deal, to the failure of the levees in Hurricane Katrina. And through encounters with experts all over the country?a Mississippi River tugboat captain, an Erie Canal lock operator, a western rancher fighting for water rights?Doyle reveals how we've dammed, raised, rerouted, channelized, and even 're-meandered" our rivers.
