The River Chasers is a narrative history of American whitewater canoeing and kayaking. Written by Susan Taft, the book traces the evolution of paddling through the people, places, and events over the last century. The culmination of five years of research and 130 interviews, The River Chasers covers whitewater paddling from wood/canvas canoes and folding kayaks to modern day composite and plastic; from recreational whitewater to slalom, squirt and freestyle; and from clubs to the leading whitewater manufacturers.
