Eureka, California: The Author, 1942 First edition. 12mo. 31pp. Green wrappers printed in black. Quite scarce. An early argument against any diversion of the Trinity River for purposes of irrigation and electric energy for the Sacramento Valley. As it happened, the plan was developed and finalized by the United States Bureau of Reclamation in the late 1950's, dams were ultimately built, and by 1970 it was obvious that Mr. Kendall was right: the extent of habitat alteration and decline in salmon and steelhead populations became obvious. Finally, in 1999, the Trinity River Flow Evaluation study was completed which was the foundation of the Trinity River Restoration Program, designed to restore naturally-spawning populations of salmon and steelhead to near pre-dam levels.
