Moving Waters

Adventures on Northern Rivers
by Sam Cook

Sam Cook, outdoor writer for the Duluth News-Tribune, returns with his first book in several years. Moving Waters is a collection of Sam's essays and photos from his many canoeing adventures in the wilds of Northern Canada and Alaska. A great read for the hardcore paddler or armchair traveler. Two 16-page spreads of color photos.

Long before there were books, even before us two-leggeds had a written language, great storytellers where the most valued members of our tribe. We are indeed fortunate to hear Sam Cook tell his water stories of our beloved North. Today, no one is better at gathering us to the fire circle.

Sam's latest series of elegant reflections takes us further afield with accounts of his adventures in subarctic Canada and Alaska. Whether rocketing down a whitewater rapids (backwards!), stumbling upon a brook trout honey-hole or marveling at the bull caribou circling 'round his camp, Sam draws us right into the experience as only he --one of Minnesota's best-loved outdoor writers--can do. For us North Woods adventure lovers, Sam's stories are the next best thing to being there.
