As Blaine Harden traveled the Columbia-by barge, car, and sometimes on foot-his past seemed both foreign and familiar. A major part of the book is a river journey that Harden takes on barges moving merchandise down the Snake and Columbia Rivers between the dams. A personal narrative of rediscovery joined a narrative of exploitation: of Native Americans, of endangered salmon, of nuclear waste, and of a once-wild river now tamed to puddled remains. Harden describes people and places exquisitely, and I could imagine each captain’s appearance and personality, as well as the feel of being on a craft with significant tonnage and limited steering/stopping capacity. A personal narrative of rediscovery joined a narrative of exploitation: of Native Americans, of endangered salmon, of nuclear waste, and of a once wild river now tamed to puddled remains.
