After two decades, Washington Post journalist Blaine Harden
returned to his small-town birthplace in the Pacific Northwest to
follow the rise and fall of the West s 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 river s 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
once-wild river. Updated throughout, this edition features a new
foreword and afterword."
