Beltrami's River: In Search of the Source

One of the most unlikely river explorers to ever come to America. A man who did not fit the image of his famous contemporaries, Lewis and Clark. He was rediculed for his foppish fashion, his red umbrella and wild ideas. He went in search for the source of the Mississippi River and survived after being lost in the northern wilderness - a dramatized account of a fascinating and controversial story. A dangerous journey - a spiritual discovery.
