The River That Is America is a summation of decades of boat trips on the Potomac River. Jim has stopped at just about every creek and commercial facility on the tidal part of this river over the years and listened to the great stories from the early days of America down to today. It begins at Chain Bridge, where narrow, deep-water churns as it begins to make its way past the Nation's Capitol, and it ends at the mouth of the Potomac at the Chesapeake Bay - a great, wild display of just about every kind of water experience possible.
Join Jim Burch as he travels down the great Potomac River, to discover the roots of our nation and so many of those extravagant realities about the hard-working river people who created this nation along its first commercial spine. This is truly the river that is America.
