Tired of an unfulfilling life in Kansas City, Missouri, Patrick
Dobson left his job and set off on foot across the Great Plains.
After two and a half months, 1,450 miles, and numerous encounters
with the people of the heartland, Dobson arrived in Helena,
Montana. He then set a canoe on the Missouri and asked the river to
carry him safely back to Kansas City, hoping this enigmatic
watercourse would help reconnect him with his life. In Canoeing the
Great Plains, Dobson recounts his journey on the Missouri, the
country's longest river. Dobson, a novice canoeist when he begins
his trip, faces the Missouri at a time of dangerous flooding and
must learn to trust himself to the powerful flows of the river and
its stark and serenely beautiful countryside. He meets a cast of
characters along the river who assist him both with the mundane
tasks of canoeing-portaging around dams and reservoirs and finding
campsites-and with his own personal transformation. Mishaps,
mistakes, and misadventures plague his trip, but over time the
river shifts from being a frightening adversary to a welcome
companion. As the miles float by and the distinctions blur between
himself and what he formerly called nature, Dobson comes to grips
with his past, his fears, and his life beyond the river.
