Kaniksu: Stories of the Northwest

Thomas Lacy has done an excellent job of building a sense of place for the Priest Lake area in this book. He has done this by keeping alive the human histories of the common, unsung inhabitants of a wild and beautiful region; people whose lives and everyday living were shaped by the rugged environment. In these times of a mobile, busy society it is good to take a book like Kaniksu and look back to the days and places where human history and the natural environment moved down parallel trails.
