About The Author
Chris Brown
Author Christopher N. Brown fell in love with canoeing 50 years ago while teaching school in Chicago. Since then, on vacations and through jobs in river conservation with American Rivers, the National Park Service, and the US Forest Service, he has paddled in all 50 states. Its unique history and riverfront location drew him to the Washington Canoe Club in 1990. He is an honorary life member of the club, whose collections and family albums largely provided the assemblage of images in this book.
