Description

Riverman: An American Odyssey uncovers the story of an extraordinary man and his puzzling disappearance, painting a picture of the singular spirit of America's riverbank towns.

On his forty-third birthday, Dick Conant embarked on a journey into the watery arteries of America, canoeing thousands of miles of rivers over the next twenty years. His odyssey took him to the unreported margins of society, leaving an indelible mark on those whose lives he touched.

A chance encounter with Conant in 2014 led Ben McGrath to set out and find the people whose lives were connected to this enigmatic river wanderer. The result is a story of perseverance, self-discovery, and the transformative power of nature.
