Peter Lourie - River Writer "After canoeing the entire length of the Hudson River, I wrote three books: Hudson River 1992, The Lost Treasure of Captain Kidd, 1996, and River of Mountains, 1995. Since that journey, I've gone on to write about other rivers, too (Yukon, Amazon, Everglades, Missouri, Erie Canal, and now the Rio Grande). For the past six years I have taken my stories into schools, hauling my canoe, paddles, camping gear, and slides into school auditoriums and cafeterias to talk about rivers and keeping journals for writing adventure books.
 "That's
when I became interested in using the Internet to help educators and students
commun- icate what they've found. My friend and Internet explorer Susan Bates and I thought a resource for river information for schools on the Web might help. So, RiverResource was born--a place where students of rivers can begin to explore new information. Through RiverResource, Susan and I discovered Rivers of Life. I'm very excited to expand the reach of my river education work through this program." Peter holds a B.A. in classics
from New York University, an M.A. in English literature from the University
of Maine, and an M.F.A. in creative writing from Columbia University.
He has taught writing at Columbia University, the University of Vermont
and Middlebury College. Read
