Bridging a Great Divide

The Battle for the Columbia River Gorge

Beschreibung

In 1986, President Ronald Reagan signed the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area Act, setting into motion one of the great land-use experiments of modern times. The act struck a compromise between protection for one of the West's most stunning landscapes and encouragement of compatible economic development. In Bridging a Great Divide, Kathie Durbin draws on interviews, correspondence, and research to tell the story of the major shifts in the Gorge since the Act's passage.
