I've been in and out of the office and meant to reply to the thread on canoe trips down the Mississippi. I have a question: Has anyone compiled a list of published accounts by people who have boated down the Mississippi? I'm not talking about people on steamboats, but solo excursions, or trips by very small groups of people (say six or less), in small riverboats (skiffs, canoes, etc.), who traveled down the entire river. I only know of seven, the earliest in 1887, two in the 1920s, one in 1938, and the rest more recent.
