North Words: Solo on the Hudson

On the latest edition of North Words, the first person to make a solo canoe journey down the entire length of the Hudson River returns to repeat the journey, 35 years later.  Peter Lourie talks about how his Hudson reprise compared to the trip he took in 1990.  Later, an urban sociologist looks at what makes Ottawa the place it is, and at the unique relationship Americans along the border have with Canada’s capital city.  And a sportswriter tries to determine whether hockey goalie Bill Taugher’s one NHL appearance - 100 years ago - really happened. From North Creek to South Colton, from Old Forge to New Bremen, North Words brings you interviews, on-site recordings, and special features that remind us what makes the North Country region so special. WCNY Community FM is pleased to present this monthly show from our colleagues at North Country Public Radio.
