Part history, part sociology, part travelogue, and part journalistic account of a contemporary crisis, this sweeping portrait of the powerful, beautiful Columbia River explores how people changed the river and were in turn changed by it. 3 maps; index.

Excellent: Classic to understanding Columbia River Issues: (A favorite for 10 years !- a reread-- that good) Not a guide book! Written by newspaper science writer for Vancouver Columbian and Seattle Times. (style reflects that background ) Written in newspaper style- makes the point quickly, and moves on. Moves very quickly in short chapters that convey all aspects of history of Columbia River Drainage Area from 1700 to 1995. The economics, salmon , salmon fishing, indians and values, transportatiion, farming, dams, River Transportation from 1810 on, the enviromental issues and different visions,and conclusions believed in from the same facts, but colored by our personal experiences. Also recommend """A River Lost "" by Blane Harding (Washington Post) - the books compliment each other
