Product Description

Product Description

Thoughtful, witty, and beautifully written, "Many Rivers to Cross" 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.

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.

There are indeed many rivers to cross, and M.R. Montgomery shows us that each is in just the right place.

A rare find 1 Jan 1999

Format:Paperback
Montgomery's gentle quest for the last haunts of native cutthroats is worth reading twice. A more gifted writer than most of his more celebrated contemporaries.

Format:Paperback
The late American author, William Humphrey (a fine writer and fly fisherman), noted that there were two types of people that wrote about fishing-fishermen that wrote and writers that fish. He recommended reading the latter. M.R. Montgomery of The Boston Globe fits into the latter class. This elegant book takes the reader into the vanishing world of the cutthroat trout in the western United States.

By A Customer
Format:Paperback
The author travels to unlikely western destinantions in search of native cutthroat trout. The difficulty encountered finding pure strains (those unpolluted by stocking) is an eye-opener; there are few places remaining where man's hand has not altered the biology of US streams. The devestating impact of cattle ranching on streams is also explored. You are left with the sad knowledge that many of these populations of wild trout are not far from extinction.
