Omschrijving
Weaving together the stories and voices of residents, anglers, community leaders, and environmental workers and researchers, this ethnographic account details the lives and livelihoods impacted by a once-unrivaled Michigan salmon fishery.
In an account packed with extensive oral histories, Prichard uses locals' own words to uncover what it was like for their community to develop such an important yet relatively short-lived relationship with a new species. It's an illuminating investigation into the complex bond between a small town and the natural world." — Publisher's Weekly
