Nature Noir
by former ASRA Ranger Jordan Fisher Smith about the American River
Writer Jordan Fisher Smith worked as a ranger in the Sierra Nevada, the Grand Tetons, and Alaska. But he found the greatest adventure of his life when he took a job watching over forty-eight miles of the American River canyons long condemned to be inundated by the Auburn Dam.
Says Mike Davis "...this astonishing book, with its brilliant interweaving of murder, irony and natural history, invents a new genre."
