"...the literature of a place is not separate from the land, the water, the people."
From the Foreword by Gurney Norman author of Kinfolks.
"Rivers of Kentucky is a treasure-trove of information and lore about this North American place called Kentucky. It is an atlas, a compendium, a guidebook and a story collection all rolled into one. The book is as varied in its style and content as the Kentucky landscape itself.
"Especially appealing are David and Lalie's own narrative about such personal adventures as conoeing on Kentucky's rivers, inevitably capsizing from time to time. Appealing also are the many local natural-born story tellers whom the authors wisely grant center stage.
"...from the beginning, the reader is assured by the steady voices of David and Lalie Dick, who serve as confident guides through an exotic reading experience. Their writing is suffused with a spirit of generosity, humor and good sense.
"It is often poetic. Rivers of Kentucky is one of the most interesting, original and useful contributions to Kentucky's flourishing literature to be published in years."
