Make it a Mississippi River party…

It gonna be a spring and summer full of Mississippi River books, it seems!

And I’m all about it—I hope you pick up not just The Great River but these other great books, too. And incentivize that, I’m going to raffle off a “Mississippi River Party Pack”: several hundred dollars worth of food and drink, all made along the banks (or within the floodplain) of the Mississippi River, fit to throw a party. Think Wonderbird Gin, some Zapps potato chips, some Red Hot Riplets, and more.

To enter, you need to:

  1. Pre-order The Great River from your favorite bookstore before June 11.

  2. Buy or pre-order at least one other Mississippi River book from 2024. Want a recommendation? See below.

  3. Send a copy of your receipts to upholtnewsletters at gmail dot com, with the phrase “MS Party Pack” in the subject line.
