Interweaving stories of pioneer settlers, conservative old-timers, and Hispanic and other newcomers with his past experience as a harvest hand in Adams County, Washington, a journalist provides a lyrical, sympathetic perspective on the socioeconomic and environmental challenges being faced by farmers in rural America. The book includes hand-drawn maps of Adams County and the Columbia Basin dry wheat-growing region.
