Writer living in Livingston, Montana with my wife, photographer Ginny. Have 14 published books including Hunted: A Novel, Coyote Nowhere - In Search of America's Last Frontier, and Arctic Aurora - Canada's Yukon and Northwest Territories. AK Press will release my next book, Yellowstone Drift - Float the Past in Real Time in February 2009. This one is about canoeing the Yellowstone from below the northern boundary of Yellowstone Park to the river's confluence with the Missouri at Ft. Buford, North Dakota or about 525 miles. Have contributed stories to publications that include Men's Journal, Gray's Sporting Journal, Art of Angling Journal, The Denver Post, Briarpatch, E - The Environmental Magazine, California Literary Review, Outside, Counterpunch and Fly Rod & Reel. Camping, canoeing, upland bird hunting, cooking, reading, photography, fly fishing, hiking keep him occupied
I didn't read this. I ordered it because the library website described it in such a way as to lead me to believe it was primarily photographs; this is not the case. If you know a photographer who does a good job with this subject I'm open to recommendations.
Interesting travelogue. This book was published in 2000, it would be interesting to see the landscape 18 years later; effects of climate change, more/less people, etc.
