Headwaters Fall As Snow
Like Kathy's last book (Moose In The Water/Bamboo On The Bench)this is a fine bit of writing that takes you into her and her husband's world in Maine. Kathy grew up in Michigan and her experiences then, and now in Maine intermingle to bring out the everyday wonderment and adventure of a life in the peace and tranquility of the North woods. This book, like her last will be one I will read over ...
The Egg Lady and Other Neighbors (Headwaters Series)

Outstanding book of short stories
"The Egg Lady & Other Neighbors" is an outstanding book of short stories capturing life in the contemporary rural Midwest. Much in the way Willa Cather does in "My Antonia," "The Egg Lady" provides living, breathing portraits of compelling characters dealing with the sometimes unforgiving social norms often prevalent in rural societies. However, this book is more than just a archetypal ...

Charlie Craven
Headwater Books, 2008
Simply the best
I have tied flies for 43 years. I have tied commercially while in high school and college. I own or have read virtually every book on fly tying, and have taken classes with a slew of great tiers. This is, quite simply, the best basic fly tying book I have ever seen. The organization is great. The selection of basic techniques is spot on, and the photography is superb in it's clarity and ...

I wrote the competing book--and this one is better!
I wrote the canoe guide to the Missouri after my trek down the river in 1999 and that book is still in print..BUT this one is better..if you only are buying one book get this one, not mine. It is a considerable improvement on my guidebook. If, however you actually intend to canoe the whole river, or a major part of it you might also want mine. Dave has done a great service to us all! Thanks ...

A Great Read!
Four best friends journey into the Northern California wilderness from separate starting points, with a promise to meet up with each other at a certain point. Armed with their maps, each of the four records their trials, self-discoveries, wonderments and thoughts along the way in this intensely personal account of their journeys. A magical, mystical (and often funny) joy to read!

Tall tree politics.
I read this book after visiting Arcata this summer. While there, I went on a BLM ranger-guided hike into the Headwaters, the "lush, mysterious, ancient, holy" (p. 82) subject of Dunning's book. I wanted to see for myself what all of the protesting was about. Enjoy this book, then experience the Headwaters' redwoods. Dunning's book is about many things. Trees. Community. Redwood ...
The Lawson's Fork: Headwaters to Confluence

dismal attempt
I too love Lawson Fork and have watched it thrive following the Clean Water Act. The flora and fauna is diverse and it's recovery may be attributed to the wonderful work of the Spartanburg Sanitary Sewer Distict. The Sewer Distict is nationally recognized and has received numerous awards for their stewardship of our environment. The disparaging comments regarding the the Lawson Fork Wastewater ...

Essential spring creek reading
Although this book is written mostly for the famous Limestoners of Pa, the information and patterns in the book can be used effectively anywhere. It is along the same lines as Mike Lawsons "Spring Creeks" which deals primarily with western spring creeks. The pictures and fly tying recipes throughout the book are absolutely perfect. Having fished many of the creeks in the book myself, I can ...

Elegant and Gritty at the same time
The Hunger Bone is a wonderful collection of short stories strung together with shorter stories, prose poems, to give the collection texture and contribute to the creation of a world -- the world of travelling rock and roll musicians. The characters are beautifully drawn, and the stories reveal the thrills and trials of such a life. There's lots of humor here, and cynical glimpses of the ...
