Jack Knox's Swansong
The pen and ink illustrations as well as the author's musings and recounting of a bygone era when folks used waterways for socializing as well as personal business are illuminating. Today, these rivers, which may be diverted, dammed or diminished, are not the main thoroughfares they once were. The historical significance of this book in the understanding of a region and an era cannot be underestimated. Perhaps one of Knox's most creative endeavors.
