Description "Poignant but animated by a stubborn hope."--Christianity TodayFor years, Ryan Schnurr, editor at Belt Magazine, watched media coverage of Lake Erie algae blooms with a growing sense of unease. An Indiana native, he wanted to learn more about the role the Maumee River--Lake Erie's largest tributary and the center of the region's largest watershed--played in the lake's environmental woes. So in the summer of 2016, he walked and canoed the length of the river from its headwaters in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to its mouth in Toledo, Ohio. As he traverses the waters and banks like a modern-day Thoreau, Schnurr walks us through: - The history of the river, including its formation by glaciers- Its function in Native American and American history- How industrialization changed it- How current economic and environmental forces are still shaping it today.Part cultural history, part nature writing, and part personal narrative, In the Watershed is a lyrical work of nonfiction in the vein of John McPhee, Edward Abbey, and Ian Frazier with a timely and important warning at the core. "What is happening in Lake Erie," Schnurr tells us, "is a disaster by nearly any measure?ecologically, economically, socially, culturally."A slim but pressing travelogue for readers who are interested in nature writing at its most local level.
