Summary note
'Jackson weaves a fascinating story a amazing variety of sources, primary, secondary, oral histories, and personal observations. This book is entertaining, informative, poignant and finally, to me, profoundly sad. The fact that (these rivers) now are 'elongated lakes' with little if any of a once-abundant biota should be a constant reminder to all of the price we have paid for 'civilization.'
