From the World of Roderick Haig-Brow: Return To The River.
This book is a classic work of nature writing and literary nonfiction that follows the complete, dramatic life cycle of a Chinook salmon (King Salmon) on the Columbia River. Roderick Haig-Brown employs the narrative skill of a novelist and the rigorous detail of a naturalist to chronicle the salmon's journey: from its hatching, its seaward migration as a fingerling in Puget Sound, its life in the Pacific, and its final, relentless return upstream to the spawning grounds. More than just a biological account, the book is a profound meditation on instinct, survival, and the fragility of natural systems in the face of human development, particularly discussing the impact of dams. It stands as one of the finest books ever written about the salmon and a powerful early call for river conservation.
