In 1995 Will Baker traveled to California's Trinity River to write a magazine piece on the annual Earth First! Rendezvous. There he met a passionate defender of the Southwest desert named Tony Merten, a former officer in the Rio Grande chapter of the Sierra Club.The two struck up a friendship and debated vigorously their views on matters environmental. One issue in particular roused them: the smoldering controversy over the centuryold practice of allowing ranchers to graze livestock on public lands for a nominal fee.Beginning what he thought was routine research on this turbulent topic, Baker soon found himself confronting a tragedy with intense personal, regional, even global implications. The elements of that story include a sniper who gunned down thirtyfour head of cattle and left them to rot in a remote 'wilderness study' area; a xerox copy of a letter from Tony Merten on the day of his death; and the rumor of a large bequest to one of the most radical environmental groups in the nation.
