About This Book

The author argues that the biblical Garden of Eden lies on the eastern bank of the Mississippi between La Crosse and Winona, identifying the Mississippi as the Euphrates and proposing three local tributaries that correspond to the other Edenic rivers. He supports this claim through close readings of Genesis, detailed topographical description of bluffs, valleys, and riverbanks, and reflections on climate, resources, and human suitability. The narrative blends geographic observation and theological interpretation, recounts earlier local newspaper notices, invites further investigation, and acknowledges public skepticism while affirming the plausibility of the identification.
