“AND DOWN WE WENT. The run Brown & I had carefully cleared the day before, all hundred yards of it to the curve where we smacked into brambles through which we saw quiet water ahead.”
Jones’s classic narrative of his personal journeys through various waterways—canals, rivers, bayous, and even open sewers—exploring the often overlooked and hidden corners of the East Coast.
