This updated edition of the 1979 original covers the landmark
struggle to save the New River from damming in the 1970s. The
grassroots movement emphasized the river's cultural and historical
value rather than narrow environmental issues and became one of the
great victories of the environmental movement. This edition also
includes a new epilogue examining the current ecological status of
the New River and the ongoing impact of the original conservation
efforts in the face of new environmental threats. The 1979 edition
won the Weatherford Award presented by Berea College and the
Appalachian Studies Association.
