<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>As an angler in search of wild trout and an urban dweller in search of the wild frontier, Montgomery has traveled to magical places where the water runs clear and the trout are abundant--and to landscapes threatened by tourists, developers, and even grazing cows. His book is at once a quirky, lively fishing journal and a lyrical ode to our vanishing wilderness. Line drawings.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Thoughtful, witty, and beautifully written, <i>Many Rivers to Cross</i> details M.R. Montgomery's journey into the physical and emotional territory of the American West as he explores the meaning and experience of wilderness. <br> Montgomery's travels take him from the headwaters of the Columbia River to eastern Oregon and to Big Goose Creek, where General Custer's reinforcements camped and went fishing instead of joining the battle at Little Bighorn. He guides us through overlooked locations in Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, New Mexico, Arizona, and Oregon -- all of the last best places. And of course there is the ever-present quest for trout, from the Bonneville cutthroat to the rare Apache. <br> There are indeed many rivers to cross, and M.R. Montgomery shows us that each is in just the right place.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Bill Mckibben Author of <i>The End of Nature</i> Montgomery catches some fish in this book, of course -- but he also catches mood, angle of light, tang of longing.
