The Niobrara - A River Running through Time (Paperback)

Although its history is etched on canyon walls reaching back twenty
million years, the Niobrara is very much a river of today.
Stretching 535 miles from its headwaters to the Missouri River, it
is one of Nebraska's least altered waterways and is designated as a
national scenic river. Its waterfalls and wildlife make it a haven
for outdoor enthusiasts, but pressures from development still
threaten its scenic and ecological wonders. This first book-length
study of the Niobrara is a comprehensive look at an ecological
treasure. Paul A. Johnsgard reviews the river's history from its
geologic past through prehistoric settlement to the present and
highlights its historical and biological features. Writing from
this crossroads of eastern and western species, Johnsgard also
describes the Niobrara's varied plants and animals, providing
extensive information on bird populations. He offers portraits of
sixteen species of special conservation concern, such as the
black-tailed prairie dog and the olive-backed pocket mouse.
Drawings by Johnsgard, information tables on various species, plus
site lists make the book an invaluable reference. It conveys the
Niobrara's value as a recreational and scientific resource to help
visitors better appreciate this riparian paradise while offering
specialists an unimpeachable guide to its scientific riches. The
Niobrara includes chapters by Jon Farrar and Duane Gudgel.
