The River People — Lee Davis Willoughby

These Are The People Who Dared The Wild River

In the 1800's the Mississippi and the Missouri Rivers were the great roadway that bore men and women westward in search of wealth, glory, a new life. The path was turbulent, dangerous, often deadly.

The people who traveled it were diverse: there were heroes, heroines, murderers and betrayers. Among these were two young and lovely women, Georgia and Clarissa and two men of mystery, Eaton and Casey. Their private destinies were profoundly entwined with America's Westward thrust.
