The Lochsa Story explores the lessons drawn from two centuries of human interaction with northern Idaho's Lochsa country and how those lessons can affect management philosophies of similar regions across the continent and beyond. This personal narrative is thoroughly documented and includes maps and scores of rare, old photographs.
Captivating and lyrical writing. Starts off romanticizing trapping and poaching, then in the last 5 chapters really hits a home run with a call for a reasoned, scientific based management of the Lochsa Forest. A call to correct mistakes of the past. A look at wholeness and what is left to learn about this special land.
