A combination of simplicity and courage, honor and compassion, coordination and generosity. 2018 marks the hundredth anniversary of one of Iowa's most notable native sons. Inspirational in so many ways. This collection is a reminder that playing hard and thinking deep never go out of style.

Author Mark Wilson says it best: "In our lifetimes, many of us have had or still have an individual we look up to; someone who inspires us, challenges us, helps us face adversities, or helps us form a positive outlook on life. Nile Clarke Kinnick, Jr. is that person for me. Kinnick's way of thinking inspired me to write this book, The Way of Nile, a compilation of 366 memorable quotes from his letters, journals, and speeches. I was also driven to share my connections to this fascinating and admirable young man through my own personal stories.
