But Katie Lee was among a handful of people who knew the 170 miles of Glen Canyon very well. Shed made sixteen trips down the river, even named some of the side canyons. Glen Canyon and the river that ran through it had changed her life. Her descriptions of a magnificent desert oasis and its rich archaeological ruins are a paean to paradise lost. In 1963, the US Governments Bureau of Reclamation (the Wreck-the-Nation Bureau, Katie calls it) shut off the flow of the Colorado River at Glen Canyon Dam, beginning the process of flooding this natural treasure. Three generations have been born since the dam was built, and in a few more decades there may be no one alive who will have known the place. Katie Lee didnt forget Glen Canyon, and she didnt want anyone else to forget it either. She tells us what there was to love about Glen Canyon and why we should miss it.The canyon had great personal significance for her: She had gone to Hollywood to make her career as an actress and a singer, but the river kept calling her back, showing her a better way to live. Sheeloquently weaves her personal story into her breathtaking descriptions of the trips she made down the canyon. In later years, Katie found allies in her struggle to restore the canyon. The Glen Canyon Institute has been joined by the Sierra Club in calling for the draining of Lake Powell (Rez Foul, in Katies words), and the idea is being debated on editorial pages across the country and in congressional hearings. All My Rivers Are Gone celebrates a great American landscape, mourns its loss, and challenges us to undo the damage and forever prevent such mindless destruction in the future....1945300All My Rivers Are Gone202246https://www.gandhi.com.mx/all-my-rivers-are-gone/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/413205/3c792e15-35c4-435d-b4be-b7e1f8c43405.jpg?v=638694540096830000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20239781917895163_W3siaWQiOiJiZTIxYjAyMC1kMmNmLTQxMTQtYTVkOS00MmYxYzUxZGZiNTEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjI0MCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjQzLCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjE5NywiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMTItMDFUMDA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781917895163_David Brower, who has always regretted the Sierra Clubs failure to save the Glen Canyon, called it The Place No One Knew.
