"As Commandant Cousteau's successor at the Académie française, I was touched by Franck Vogel's photographs and his wonderful book on Frontier Rivers. In addition to his committed work, he has a real gift for storytelling and knows how to take the public with him to awaken spirits." - Erik Orsenna of the Académie française.
