| Environmental historians have paid little attention to riparian areas; Nancy Langston provides a partial corrective through Where Land & Water Meet, a study of Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, located around Malheur and Harney lakes and the Donner und Blitzen River in southeastern Oregon's high desert country. The story is complex, for ranchers, settlers, irrigation developers, community boosters, and environmental activists all have played parts in the Malheur's troubled history. |
