A landscape history, this text explores the central idea of how people's preconceptions and perceptions of a place - in this case, Owen's Valley - influence their interventions on the land. Rebecca Fish Ewan draws on primary sources, oral histories and conversations, offering a story that reaches beyond the tale of water wars with Los Angeles. The poetic essays, illustrated with historical images and Ewan's own photographs of the region, provide a multifaceted perspective on the land, the history and the people of Owens Valley.
