The Fraser River's domain is vast: its basin encompasses half of British Columbia's forests and agricultural lands, the majority of the province's salmon streams, and two-thirds of its human population. Mighty River follows the Fraser from its source down to the Pacific, recounting many of the human and natural histories that intertwine on its banks. Richard Bocking describes the delicate ecosystems nourished by the Fraser and offers vivid historical glimpses of Native Americans, explorers like Alexander Mackenzie and Simon Fraser, and gold seekers trekking the river's canyon. Looking beyond the river's beauty, Bocking describes how careless development wounded the Fraser in the past and keeps the river vulnerable today. As the Fraser descends, it presents a microcosm of the conflicts and choices that dominate North America's economic and environmental agendas.
