Clean, Bright Journalism
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This little book is a sleeper, it got me back into real fishing again after an on-and-off few years of chasing bluegill in neighborhood creeks. The best thing is the author's genuine enthusiasm for the rivers of the West & the natural history around them. The only drawback may be that a few of the pieces are a little too journalistic, but most have an aura of wonder almost as if written on a gravelbar or nearby tavern.
Modern state of wilderness written with timeless eloquence
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
It's nice to hear from an author writing in our time. His words are written with timeless eloquence, yet cars emit exhaust and humanity encroaches. But Nature still is glorious. To read Checchio's descriptions, which are so well crafted yet so contemporary, is inspiring.
