Winona, Minnesota, 1862

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

--Heraclitus

Off to the Upper Mississippi

"Along the Upper Mississippi every hour brings something new. There are crowds of odd islands, bluffs, prairies, hills, woods and villages--everything one could desire to amuse the children. Few people ever think of going there, however."

--Mark Twain
