Superbly reported and written with clarity, insight, and great skill.' Washington Post Book World After two decades, Washington Post journalist Blaine Harden returned to his smalltown birthplace in the Pacific Northwest to follow the rise and fall of the Wests most thoroughly conquered river. To explore the Columbia River and befriend those who collaborated in its destruction, he traveled on a monstrous freight barge sailing west from Idaho to the Grand Coulee Dam, the site of the rivers harnessing for the sake of jobs, electricity, and irrigation. A River Lost is a searing personal narrative of rediscovery joined with a narrative of exploitation: of Native Americans, of endangered salmon, of nuclear waste, and of a oncewild river. Updated throughout, this edition features a new foreword and afterword. 7 maps
