About this book
One of the last blocks of unprotected wild country left in the Lower 48 the Clearwater Country in north-central Idaho "is a small place not a large place to save " writes Charles Pezeshki. Serving as advocate as he chronicles this land and the people involved in efforts to preserve it Pezeshki introduces us not only to a spectacular country but also to the ordinary folks--a timber cruiser a construction worker an insurance salesman a piano teacher--who labor against enormous odds to save it from the chain saw. Wild to the Last is a journey both sublime and horrific through a magnificent natural land complete with wild roaring rivers old-growth forest and snowy peaks. It is also a desperate call for help as one of the last wild places in America is clearcut--while the public remains largely unaware and apathetic.
