Saint Croix Notes

by Noah Adams

The Saint Croix River Valley is a remarkable part of Minnesota and Wisconsin that combines stunning natural beauty with small-town life. Here, Noah Adams reflects with humor and pathos on the small things that add up to the good life -- watching a Christmas pageant, spotting eagles, listening to ghost stories, and paddling down the Saint Croix River. This collection, originally written for broadcast on Minnesota Public Radio's Good Evening, is one to cherish and reread.

Noah Adams takes the mundane incidents of daily life and crafts them into exquisite prose. It makes you think about and love this world we live in.

I picked this up in a little free library on a whim and was blown away by the beautifully descriptive writing of Noah Adams - a previous host of NPR’s All Things Considered.

Spanning a year of his life in Minnesota along the St Croix River, we get a glance into his adventures in nature, exploring areas of the state that I have loved, too. Fantastic read for any Minnesota/midwest lover!

A friend gave me this. Loved the tone and made me nostalgic for MN/WI

Pleasant. Mostly about nature on the river & canoeing there.
