摘要：	If you haven't had the opportunity to take a trip aboard the Delta Queen, reading Dennis Brown's "Voices on the River: 22 Days on the Delta Queen" is the closest literary equivalent you can have. From the more than 60 trips Brown took aboard the "Queens" (Delta, Mississippi and American), he distills three weeks aboard the Delta Queen as loose threads on which he strings dozens of stories about rivermen and the historical figures connected to the river towns at which the DQ stops. His leisurely narrative covers cruises on the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers-first, east from St. Louis to Pittsburgh; then south to New Orleans. Besides being a lifelong river and Delta Queen enthusiast, Brown spent seven years as a publicist for CBS Entertainment, meeting lots of people in show business. Several of his DQ gigs were working trips, as he introduced a 1982 TV mini-series called The Blue and the Gray shown as part of the cruise, in which Gregory Peck played Abraham Lincoln, and which Brown helped publicize.
