Abstract: "Conflict concerning the river, and how to best use it, still continues. Environmentalists and developers have divergent views. Among the institutions suggesting a new interpretation of the river is the Riverfront Corporation of St. Paul. Encouraged by the Corporation's Board of Directors and its Executive Director, Patrick Seeb, communities of the Upper Mississippi are establishing new relationships with the river and are working with each other, united by the great river that runs through them all." "This is the story that Biloine W. Young tells."--Jacket.
