The American Mosaic Project is an ongoing American documentary initiative of Free River Press that captures the stories from America’s vanishing cultures.
Over 500 Americans from all walks of life and many sections of the country have come together since 1989 in Free River Press writing workshops to write the stories of their lives. In 1997 CBS Sunday Morning crafted a feature on Robert Wolf and Free River Press
To date Free River Press has published 28 titles. Some have been written by Midwest dairy farmers; Tennessee cotton farmers; Texas cattle ranchers; New Mexico cowboys; the homeless; Mississippi River towboat captains, river pilots, and commercial fishermen; Santa Fe artists; Arkansas sharecroppers and tenant farmers; and small town residents of the Midwest and South.
We have portraits of Pine Ridge Reservation, the Pueblo of Pojoaque, Mexican-American border towns, and New Mexico Hispanic mountain communities.
Their stories paint the pictures of vanishing regional folkways.
The American Mosaic Project is both a publishing venture and a radio series. American Mosaic Radio
