Product Description
by Rob Bignell (Author)
Imagine a place where a river plunges a fifth of the way down a 20-story canyon, where premier trout streams run through picturesque fields and charming woodlands, where bald eagles grace the skies and white-tailed deer graze at twilight, where prairies have been restored to look just as the pioneers saw them, where the Midwest's largest earthen dam holds back a mighty waterway.
