Where the Waters Divide

A 3,000-Mile Trek Along America's Continental Divide

Karen Berger and Daniel R. Smith

A tale of adventure, this is also a story of the American West and the ways in which it has been "used, crossed, inhabited, cursed, logged, grazed, and climbed." The authors write with insight about the history, environment, and politics of the region as they pass through grazing lands and reservations, mines and ghost towns, and miles and miles of wilderness.

 

"The book does more than recount an amazing journey. It integrates critical political issues . . . with a fine sense of history, making for delightful, invigorating reading."

—San Francisco Chronicle
