The Dogs and I by Kenny Salwey

The Dogs and I by Kenny Salwey

In today's fast-paced, high-tech digital world, Kenny Salwey is the last of a species of men whose way of life has all but vanished. This grizzled woodsman scraped by on the Mississippi River for thirty years, running a trapline, hiring out as a river guide, excavating and selling roots and herbs, and eating the food he hunted and fished. Salwey is now a renowned storyteller, environmental educator, keynote speaker, nature writer, and Upper Mississippi River advocate. Throughout the Upper Midwest, he has shared his true-life exploits and words of natural world wisdom with both adult and child audiences. Salwey seeks to inspire his audiences to maintain this valuable and vulnerable ecosystem by sharing his hard-won lessons, respect for the Mississippi River, and love of the natural world.
