A rare, honest, beautiful, and, yes, sometimes heartbreaking examination of the echoes of waterpowered natural gas drillingor frackingin the human community . . . vivid, personal and emotional.Minneapolis Star TribuneSusquehanna County, in the remote northeastern corner of Pennsylvania, is a community of stoic, lowincome dairy farmers and homesteaders seeking haven from suburban sprawland the site of the Marcellus Shale, a natural gas deposit worth more than one trillion dollars. In The End of Country, journalist and area native Seamus McGraw opens a window on the battle for control of this land, revealing a conflict that pits petrodollar billionaires and the forces of corporate America against a band of locals determined to extract their fair share of the windfallbut not at the cost of their values or their way of life. Rich with a sense of place and populated by unforgettable personalities, McGraw tells a tale of greed, hubris, and envy, but also of hope, family, and the land that binds them all together.To tell a great story, you need a great story.
