Description: Gila Libre! by M.H. Salmon Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Tells the story of the river, Gila that includes roughly four million acres of the nations first designated (1924) wilderness area, New Mexicos largest national forest, and the states only undammed river. Publisher Description M. H. Salmon was told, ""a river named Gila offered sporting fish. But this was no river. It was a stream, and standing on the bank I could see that if you picked out a riffle you could cross on foot without wetting your knees. Hardly even your ankles. I knew rivers - the St. Lawrence, the Seneca, the Oswego, the Salmon, the Black, and the Nueces. A real river could float a freighter, or at the least a barge, a yacht, a bass or drift boat. This Gila would ground a canoe."" But he soon learned the river offered more than water and fish.""Gila Libre! New Mexicos Last Wild River"" is the story of a geographic anomaly that includes roughly four million acres of the nations first designated (1924) wilderness area, New Mexicos largest national forest, and the states only undammed river. Visitors might spot a beaver and a coatimundi on the same day, an elk and a javelina on the same hillside, or catch a flathead catfish and a wild trout in the same pool. Apaches roamed along the Gilas shores, as did mountain men and outlaws.""Gila Libre!"" tells the rivers story to-date, extolling what is still a unique Southwest resource and speculating on its future, which includes the threatening proposal of a major state and federal water project. Author Biography M. H. Salmon is the author of seven books including the nonfiction Gila Descending: A Southwestern Journey and The Catfish as Metaphor, and the novel Home is the River. He lives near Silver City, New Mexico. Details ISBN 0826340822 ISBN-13 9780826340825 Title Gila Libre! Author M.H.
