150 Best Travel Book to Read Before You Die Book #61 Old Glory by Jonathan Raban It is as big and depthless as the sky itself. You can see the curve of the earth on its surface as it stretches away for miles to the other shore. Thats how Jonathan Raban saw Mississippi River from his 16-foot aluminum motorboat when he navigated the waters of the river from St. Paul, Minnesota to New Orleans, Louisiana. The book is more than just a travelogue. He writes about the history along the river, people, race, and his spartan voyage on a small boat.
