Description

Return to the River. A Story of the Chinook Run by Roderick L. Haig-Brown. With illustrations by Charles DeFeo. Return to the River tells the life history of one of the great Chinook salmon of Columbia, observed with the trained eye of a naturalist and recorded with a novelist's narrative skill. The full cycle of the chinook migration is captured in every significant detail: the departure seaward of the millions of small fry in the Spring of the second year, the salt water life of the free-swimming schools in the deep beyond Puget Sound, the later return of the survivors - sixty and eighty pounders that leap against every obstacle, striving to complete their lives at last among upland shallows barely deep enough to contain them. The dust jacket has light to medium general wear with tape repairs to the top and bottom edges. The book has mild foxing but remains tight and bright. Previous owners name stamp or inscription on inside front page and on the front cover.
