Illustrated by Ernest J. Donnelly. One of many "Rivers of America books" published. From Chapter 1, The River of Life,"It was Ralph Waldo Emerson, the wise man to walk in the valley of the Charles, who likened man to a river whose source is hidden and who moved, like the river, to eventual freedom. It was Emerson, too, who feared that, if the race of man ever died off, it would die of civilization. And if the calm ghost of Emerson has gone far back in time or come forward in this vallley, the years have proved his wisdom. For he would have encountered, in one direction, the simple idyllic life of the Alogonquins…'Quineboquin,' the Algonquins called the Charles, meaning "circular," and that is the way man's life in the river valley has been.."
