Uncorrected proof.
From the library of Peter Matthiessen. Laid in is a letter to Matthiessen from William J. Thomas of Doubleday requesting a quote to be used in promoting the novel. Hockenberry's book is based on a real-life act of environmental vandalism and cultural destruction involved in the building of dams on the Columbia River. Very good .
