To Thank a River

While raising four children with her physician husband, Jean Clausen was a freelance writer whose stories have been published in five newspapers and about 100 magazines. In retirement, she and her husband moved to their home on the shady banks of the Wisconsin River.

To Thank a River features Jean Clausen's best memories of their life along the river. In the finest tradition of outdoor writing, she takes us cross-country skiing or down the river in a canoe. But you don't have to be what she calls a "Nature Nut" to enjoy this book!

Here's what people are saying about To Thank a River by Jean Clausen:

"This book expresses many of the joys, the freedoms, the experiences, the comforts of my own life. For this reason, it reads like poetry to me." -- Nina Leopold Bradley, daughter of legendary Wisconsin writer and naturalist Aldo Leopold.

"She writes of garden flowers and prairie blooms, of balmy breezes and blustery blizzards. She describes intimate visits with cardinals and chickadees. And bald eagles. Few Badger birders have seen more eagles than she, for they are part of her daily vista all winter long." -- Sam Robbins, author of Wisconsin Birdlife.

"The seasons, flowers and trees, birds and other animals, the artistry of spider webs, the beauty of sunsets and especially the omnipresence of the river are all interwoven with sincerity and emotion. The author thanks the river for all its gifts, and we thank her for this compilation." -- Kenneth I. Lange, naturalist and author.
