Oneota Flow: The Upper Iowa River and Its People (American Land & Life)
“The great conservationist and Iowa native Aldo Leopold often reminded us that to live well in our land community we should strive to understand it.Oneota Flowis a treasure chest of such understanding. Every Home Place should have a David Faldet.”—Paul W. Johnson, former director, Iowa Department of Natural Resources“Faldet’sOneota Flowgathers stories small and large—like river tributaries—to form a great, flowing whole, a deep, curving story of an entire watershed and those who have called it home. Tributaries and stories: Spring Creek, South Pine, Coldwater Cave, Canoe Creek, prairie fires, rural electrification, Ho-Chunk ways, PCBs, brook trout, and family tales all contribute to this rich narrative, so much like the Upper Iowa in full summer flow.”—Drake Hokanson, director, Center for Mississippi River Studies, Winona State University
