Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

From the settlement of the Salish tribe in its valley, to the current fight to prevent the Phelps Dodge Corporation and Canyon Resources of Colorado from operating a massive gold mine along its banks, this is an ecological biography of the Big Blackfoot River in Montana. With an avowed purpose of convincing his readers to never buy gold again, the author discusses the effects of successive generations of logging, mining, ranching, and suburban development on the ecology of the river, and warns that even greater dangers are facing it now.
