Title: The Golden Spruce
Post by The_Beaver on Apr 26^th, 2007 at 6:13pm

The Golden Spruce: A True Story of Myth, Madness, and Greed by John Vaillant.

A page turner in the Krakauer mold of enviromental adventure genre.

Chronicles what happens when "progress" (greed) meets native peoples (myth) and wilderness and how some men react (madness).

Enjoyed the book. Read it in a couple of days. Interesting hsitory lesson and some insight on the natives in the NW. Just wondering if there was any closure on the Hadwin saga.
