520 1 $a"A River Through Illinois, a collaboration by journalist Gary Marx and photographer Daniel Overturf, carries readers down the 330 miles of the Illinois Waterway, from the urban landscape of Chicago to the state's most rural areas. Combining literary impressions, history, and personal narrative with stunning color photographs, this remarkable book transports readers to places most have never been: three hundred feet below the city of Chicago to a wastewater pump station, above the Illinois River to a lift-bridge operator's hut, and into the wheelhouse of a towboat pushing twenty thousand tons of steel and grain.
520 8 $aThe story of the river is told by the people who live along the waterway and work between its banks, people who rely on it for their livelihoods, their recreation, and their spiritual sustenance. More than one hundred original color photographs and dozens of conversations with waterway residents, workers, and visitors capture the essence of the waterway, exposing its course and uncovering its past."--Jacket.
