This book explores what has made the forest so special to so many people, particularly those who tried to protect the Pigeon River Country from oil and gas development. The Pigeon River Country presents personal accounts of early days in the forest, including the hilarious adventures in a 1908 logging camp on the Pigeon River told by the man who got up first and went to bed last. There is a chapter on Ernest Hemingway, who camped in the Pigeon River Country and said he loved it "better than anything in the world." There are incredible photographs, the dramatic story of a 1984 incident at a dam, chapters on flora and fauna, and people speaking from the heart about woods and rivers. It's a book to curl up with when you can't be outside. Nº de ref. del artículo: 10021803
