New York: Simon & Schuster, (1982.) dj. Hardcover first edition - Journalist and naturalist Bruce Brown recounts his journeys along the rivers and coast of the Pacific Northwest in search of the fast disappearing salmon and in doing so he tells of the history of this area, the roles of logging that clogged and diverted streams, and other factors, including unbridled commericial fishing, industrial pollution, environmental mismanagement, and ignorance that led to their plight. A classic book, sadly even more appropriate now than at the time it was written. 239 pp. ISBN: 0-671-435833.
