This is an epic story of blind hope and endurance almost beyond belief; it is also, as the author tells it, a riveting tale of bumptious charlatans, con men, and tricksters, environmental arrogance and hubris, political chicanery, and a ruinous ignorance of nature's ways. The author has reached across the generations and brought us the people who played out the drama in this devastated land, and uses their voices to tell the story as well as it could ever be told. A clean pristine copy from my personal library.
