Synopsis: Told through the eyes of a longtime Montana fishing guide and itinerant fishing bum. A unique perspective on an implausible period in the recent history of human civilization. When Dave Ames started guiding, Rocky Mountain locals rode horses and dug camas roots; now theyre trading stock options on their mobile phones. The collision of stone and computer ages was short-lives, but the deep-rooted themes of this book remain. It is poignant and spiritual, its Blackfoot Indians and copper miners daughters, its fiddles and guitars and the fabric of space. Its about what happens to a wild people when the wilderness is gone.
