 emoirs\, letters\, and speeches collected in <em>The Sound of Mountain Wat
 er</em> encompass memoir\, nature conservation\, history\, geography\, and
  literature. Compositions delve into the post-World War II boom that broug
 ht the Rocky Mountain West--from Montana and Idaho to Utah and Nevada--int
 o the modern age. Other works feature eloquent sketches of the West's hist
 ory and environment\, directing our imagination to the sublime beauty of s
 uch places as Robbers Roost and Glen Canyon. A final section examines the 
 state of Western literature\, of the mythical past and the diminished pres
 ent\, and analyzes the difficulties facing any contemporary Western writer
 .&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>Written over a period of twenty-five years\, a time in wh
 ich the West witnessed rapid changes to its cultural and natural heritage\
 , and by a writer and thinker who will always hold a unique position in mo
 dern American letters\, <em>The Sound of Mountain Water</em> is a hymn to 
 the Western landscape\, an affirmation of the hope embodied therein\, and 
 a careful and rich investigation of the West's complex legacy.</p>\n<p><st
