Editor reviews
This audiobook takes listeners on a journey to Itasca State Park in Minnesota, the location of headwaters of the Mississippi River. J. D. Streeter frames the material with his stately narration, while travel journalist Patricia L. Lawrence visits with Joe Day of Minnesota Indian Affairs Council on the occasion of the opening of the Jacob Brower Visitor Center. She captures field recordings and interviews, which creates a nuanced audio atmosphere. In her friendly and inquisitive manner, she uncovers the history of the park, which was established in 1891, and discovers its main attractions.
