Summary: "An Innocent on the Middle Fork"

The author takes us on two journeys, forty years apart. In 1942, an inexperienced DuBois ran the Middle Fork of the Salmon River becoming the first person to run the river solo. If you have experienced this most challenging and beloved of America's rivers and wonder what it was like in earlier days, this book is a must. Filled with history and whitewater excitement and thrills, the author speaks with passion comparing his two trips and the regulation of the river today.
