ISBN10: 0060565284, ISBN13: 9780060565282, [publisher: HarperCollins] Hardcover First Edition Association copy, inscribed on the half-title page: "For Mark Hatfield, the Senator I most admire! Douglas Brinkley, 4/3/10, Portland, Oregon." With Hatfield's embossed library stamp on the same page. Hatfield spent eight years as Oregon's governor and then 30 in the US Senate. His record on the environment was mixed, in that he facilitated the sale of a lot of timber and helped dam key rivers in Oregon. At the same time, Hatfield was indeed instrumental in preserving much of Oregon's current wilderness and wild and scenic rivers, as well as the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. A great association copy, inscribed to Hatfield the year before he died. A fine book in a fine jacket. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.
