A River Through Illinois, an innovative collaboration by journalist Gary Marx and award-winning photographer Daniel Overturf, carries readers down the 330-mile Illinois Waterway, from the urban landscape of Chicago to the state's most rural areas. Literary impressions, history, and personal narrative are combined with stunning color photographs.

"[Overturf and Marx] remind us that this river does not just run through our state. It runs through our souls."- Dick Durbin, United States Senator from Illinois

"A River Through Illinois is a wonderful, valuable, historical record of the area and its people." - Photographer Arnold Newman
