Inspired by tales of a mythic Round River, a circular stream where
"what goes around comes around," John Hildebrand sets off to
rediscover his home state. Wisconsin is in the midst of an identity
crisis, torn by new political divisions and the old gulf between
city and countryside. Cobbling rivers together, from the burly
Mississippi to the slender wilds of Tyler Forks, Hildebrand
navigates the beautiful but complicated territory of home. In once
prosperous small towns, he discovers unsung heroes-lockmasters,
river rats, hotelkeepers, mechanics, environmentalists, tribal
leaders, and perennial mayors-struggling to keep their communities
afloat. While history doesn't flow in a circle, it doesn't always
move in a straight line either. Hildebrand charts the improbable
ox-bows along its course. Long Way Round shows us the open road as
a river with possibility around the next bend.
