2007 9-1/4x10-inch HCDJ 1st edition in gift-worthy condition (except for some minor edge-wear to the dust jacket). Signed by the Photographer, Keith Lazelle. This collection of images and essays takes you on a tour of a last great American river, from its headwaters in Olympic National Park to the Pacific Ocean. They trace the importance of the Hoh River, both ecologically and culturally, in its unique geographical and historical context. Through varied perspectives including those of tribal chief, homestead family descendant, logger, fishing guide, environmentalist, scientist, politician, artist, and more these essays portray deeply passionate connections to the river. Stunning images by renowned nature photographer Keith Lazelle bring this remote river wilderness to life, from its source high atop 8,000 ft. Mt Olympus through one of the world s last intact temperate rain forests to its mouth along Washington's rugged Pacific coast.

From Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "The photography by Keith Lazelle is exquisite, and his images of rushing water, fish, elk, moss, trees, and a few people capture the serenity and complexity of the Hoh River. The text is divided into chapters written by different authors, some fishing guides, others environmental activists, and others people whose families have lived by the Hoh for generations or even millennia. Each author writes in an authentic voice filled with respect for the Hoh. I want to leave this book on the table in my living room so I can page through it frequently."; "True stories of Olympic peninsula pioneers. It is a beautiful book. The stories and photographs are worth every cent."
