In later years, untold numbers and kinds of people have felt the draw of the river's torrents, which pour down the Appalachians along the Georgia-South Carolina border. Because of Deliverance the Chattooga looms enigmatically in our shared imagination, as iconic as Twain's Mississippi--or maybe Conrad's Congo. This is John Lane's search for the real Chattooga--for the truths that reside somewhere in the river's rapids, along its shoresNatural historyChattooga River Region (N.C.-Ga. and S.C.)Chattooga River (N.C.-Ga. and S.C.)HistoryChattooga River (N.C.-Ga. and S.C.)Description and travelChattooga River Region (N.C.-Ga. and S.C.)HistoryChattooga River Region (N.C.-Ga. and S.C.)Description and travelChattooga River Region (N.C.-Ga. and S.C.)BiographyNatural history917.5Lane John1954-1612940MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809850003321Chattooga4035582UNINA
