...and a quote from Dan D. Gapen Sr. himself:

"I wrote this book for me. In doing so it became an intricate part of my very being. I am a man from the north... a man who loves and cherishes the land from whence I came. Possibly, this is the best piece of literature I have written to plead the cause and plight of our land and water in the far north."

Dan D. Gapen Sr. has no equal as a river expert, or as an author, lecturer, teacher or angler of North America's rivers.
