About This Item
Flagstaff, Arizona: Vishnu Temple Press, LLS, 2003. First Edition Stated . Trade Paperback. Fine. 6" x 9. 479 Pages Indexed. Beautiful book that is gift quality. This is the only book describing the thirty year struggle to gain Wilderness protection for the Grand Canyon. It describes how the Colorado River became the sticking point and the tug-of-war between rafting outfitters and wilderness advocates - with the National Park Service trying to referee. Told from the point of view of the wilderness advocates, it is a source book of information showing how the current situation came to be and what small triumphs have been achieved along the way. The public waits 13 years for a self- guided permit to raft the Colorado River in Grand Canyon while the river awaits Wilderness recognition. How did we get in this mess? Hijacking A River tells the story: A pummeled government agency, intransigent businessmen and their political allies, apathetic environmentalists, and disorganized river runners; these are the characters who have made a mess of Colorado River management in Grand Canyon National Park. Jeff Ingram has been there since 1964, fighting for the Canyon and the public. One of many to fight against dams and for an adequate National Park and Wilderness, Ingram was one who kept track of events, and tells here the on- going story of protecting the Grand Canyon for the people of the world. Twenty-five chapters of very detailed research plus an Epilogue and a Reader's Guide.
