A Tale of Three Rivers : Of Wooly Buggers, Bowling Balls, Cigarette Butts, and the Future of Appalachian Brook Trout, Paperback / softback Book

A Tale of Three Rivers : Of Wooly Buggers, Bowling Balls, Cigarette Butts, and the Future of Appalachian Brook Trout Paperback / softback

Part of the Heartstreams series

Paperback / softback

Description

Matthew Dickerson takes his readers from an Applachian trout stream in western North Carolina where wild trout are reduced to sipping cigarette butts, up through his home state of Vermont where development and the ski industry threaten the state's iconic pastoral riversides, and finally into western Maine to a once dead river that has returned to life.

The tale takes us not only to the three eponymous rivers, but to other nearby streams and waters.

Though neither an historical nor as scientific text, the writing is informed by both, and as readers are drawn through the tale, they will grow in their own understanding of both stream ecology and the history of human habitation and consumption.

The book is illustrated by original prints from Vermont artist Courtney Allenson.
