If you have been enjoying the photography and travel
writing on our Great River websites, here's more from Pat:
Rich Middleton, Photographer and Itinerary Guru
Pat Middleton, Mississippi River author and Travel Writer
Rich and I have been Mississippi River buffs for some 25
years. It has been a fascinating journey that has provided endless stories
from both past and present, and some of our more remarkable photographs. We
have shared many of those stories and photographs on our website at
http://www.greatriver.com and
in our books.
It has also been our great joy to travel during the past 17 years many
dozens of times as a guest lecturer on all the
Delta Queen cruise boats
on most of America's
navigable rivers. I've always freely offered up my stories. Now I hope you
enjoy Rich's photos which highlight not only our time on the river, but our
travels around the world.
Please offer us

art from Great River Publishing!
Lisa's hand-painted historic maps of the Mississippi
River Valley have frequently been described as "the most beautiful to be
found on the Internet."
Any one of 11 different maps have been purchased
from throughout the United States over the past several years, and can be
seen online at
www.greatriverarts.com. Order maps at
