Get Access River Of Dreams: A Journey Through Milk River Country Illustrated By Liz Bryan Accessible Through Document

little question at least part of my enjoyment of this book came from timing, I was looking for some good books about trravel and different places to accompany us on our trip to eastern and western Canada.
This was the first time we had been able to go anywhere in over two years because of Covid and so I was itching to immerse myself in somwhere, anywhere.


River of Dreams begins in the southern Alberta plains before following the water into Montona and marking its final point before eventually merging and dumping into the Gulf Coast.
Two things resonated for me, First, it helped to illuminate our drive through southern Alberta, Second, I love rivers and river history, After driving the Great River Road I devoured everything I could on Missiissippi history and lore, So being introduced to a river I never knew existed and having it give life to lands that otherwise would have stood empty and without context was definitely what I was hoping for.
I'm not convinced the writing itself is as strong as this personal resonance suggests, so maybe mileage will vary based on that alone, but for me it worked.


I especially enjoyed the part that details the history of the shifting border, connecting the river itself with the human settlement and activity and eventually almost humorous back and forth battle for the river's allegiance between the Canadians and the Americans.
Of course central to this is the indigenous peoples, and hearing aboutt the smaller towns that follow the river through Montana and celebrate this culture and these peoples makes me want to visit.
A picturesque, reflective journey along the route of the ancient Milk River, from southern Alberta into northern Montana.


The Milk River is a small and dreamy river, flowing lazily through some of the loneliest lands of North America, the dry plains of Alberta and Montana.
Dwarfed by such giants as the Saskatchewan and Mississippi Rivers, it is indeed as meek as its name, virtually unknown to most North Americans.
Yet few streams can match its incredible international journey, the magical beauty of its landscape, or the long and often sad history that suffuses every inch of its,kilometre passage.


The Milk River has always been a special place for the Indigenous Peoples of the plains, providing them with physical and spiritual sustenance.
Yet the river's story also encompasses the settlement of the northwestern plains at a time of great change, when Indigenous ways of life were being systematically extinguished and new immigrant ones were

being forged, along with brave hopes and dreams, injustice, and anguish.
With lyrical prose, stunning photography, and remarkable insight into the history and geography of the region, River of Dreams is a meditation on the beauty and significance of Milk River country.
