A Great book about a Great River

I have always liked the work of Jack Leigh, but this book is his best work in my opinion. Starting at the spring from which the Ogeechee begins to where it empties into the ocean. Jack has shown us the landscape and people who live along this river. His photographs and descriptions of the people and the river take me back to my youth. I fished all along this river with my grandfather as a boy. I remember meeting Billy Bishop, the boat builder, when my grandfather went to pickup a new boat. Opening this book and looking at the photos take me back many years. If you enjoy the out of doors and especially if you enjoy boating the rivers of this country, you will enjoy this book.

Great book!

Fantastic coffee table book, that gets lots of attention. Wonderful photographs of the Savannah, GA area.. that take you to bygone days of childhood. We love it!
