Beskrivning

A landscape history, this text explores the central idea of how people's preconceptions and perceptions of a place - in this case, Owen's Valley - influence their interventions on the land. Rebecca Fish Ewan draws on primary sources, oral histories and conversations, offering a story that reaches beyond the tale of water wars with Los Angeles. The poetic essays, illustrated with historical images and Ewan's own photographs of the region, provide a multifaceted perspective on the land, the history and the people of Owens Valley.

Recensioner i media

A story well told, interwoven with the author's personal history and some fictional accounts based on the lives of those who struggled to wrest a living out of the high desert . . . The book is dotted with black-and-white photographs, historic and contemporary, some of which are quite beautiful.—Robert Pavlik, California History Action
