Review
It's a rich world-chewing voice, and Salwey uses it to spin tales of a life lived on the backwaters of the Mississippi and the lessons he's learned about the need to protect the enviroment. He also talks about a man who took from the land and now wants to give back. --Pioneer Press
He charms readers with his new book --The Capital Times
With his second book, Kenny revisits some of the same themes, this time in the voice of the hillybilly turned river rat turned literate ridge runner he has become. Quite a tale, indeed --Star Tribune
About the Author
Kenny Salwey is the last of a breed of men whose lifestyle has all but disappeared in this fast-paced, high-tech digital world. For thirty years, this weathered woodsman eked out a living on the Mississippi River, running a trapline, hiring out as a river guide, digging and selling roots and herbs, and eating the food he hunted and fished. Today, Salwey is a master storyteller, environmental educator, keynote speaker, nature writer, and advocate for the Upper Mississippi River. He has presented his true-life adventures and words of natural world wisdom to both adult and young audiences across the Upper Midwest. By sharing his hard-learned experiences, his respect for the Mississippi River, and his love of the natural world, Salwey hopes to inspire his audiences to protect this precious and fragile ecosystem.
