Neal Moore (born November 22, 1971) is an American writer and canoeist. He is the author of two non-fiction books—Down the Mississippi and Homelands: A Memoir—as well as numerous news articles. The Mark Twain Museum, CNN and The Times of London have dubbed him "the modern-day Huckleberry Finn.” He is the first person known to paddle a canoe solo and continuously across the United States from the West Coast to the East Coast. His journey linked 22 rivers and waterways in 22 states over 22 months, from Astoria, Oregon, to New York City, with a circuit of the Statue of Liberty as the grand finale.
