I checked this book from the library and am more than half way through. It's covers the history of the Pacific Salmon.... from the mid-1800's on. Covers the whole story... from the impacts of the California Gold Rush.. through logging and the canneries. It also covers the government's response (mostly U.S. State and Federal) and it's attempt to regulate. I believe it will continue through to present day (at least up to '99, when published). (Haven't finished it yet.)
I highly recommend this book to anyone that would like to dig a little deeper to find out how we got to where we are.. it's VERY sobering and sad... but a story that must be told.
