- Summary
- "John Ross has written an update to Wilma Dykeman's The French Broad, bringing the river's story into the present day. Two generations have passed since the publication of Dykeman's landmark environmental history, and during the intervening years scholars have learned a great deal more about the watershed's geology, climate, and archaeology. Dykeman had memorably asked what the river meant to the people living in the watershed. Ross extends her question by exploring how the river will sustain people in the future given the fourteen-thousand-year history newly elucidated in this text"--
