Palmetto Publishing Announces the Release of “8emessourit” ‘The River of the Big Canoes’
Charleston, SC, Oct. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Algonquin name was used originally, not ‘Big Muddy’ as it is nicknamed today. The unusual spelling meant “people with canoes made from big logs”.
Lawrence Walter Hesse was exposed to the river at a very early age, which led to a life-long connection, personally as well as professionally, that has persisted for more than 70 years. As a large river biologist, he has tracked the changing morphology and species composition of this most significant ecosystem.
This book references the scientific understanding, identified by many large river ecologists from across the globe, to document the demise of the Missouri and to identify the pathways to reverse this catastrophe.
The Author attempted to make this book readable by scientists and non-scientists alike. Why, because this evolutionary masterpiece will require the empathy and understanding of citizens of all walks of life.
“8emessourit” ‘The River of the Big Canoes’: A Large, National, River Ecosystem in Peril is available for purchase online at Amazon, Barnesandnoble.com, and your favorite bookseller. Please visit the social media platforms, Facebook or LinkedIn for more information, search for ‘Author Lawrence Hesse’.
