“Unfolding as a journey down the Mississippi River, Miriam Horn’s Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman, tells the stories of five representatives of today’s most consequential [conservation] work: a Montana rancher, a Kansas farmer, a Mississippi river man, a Louisiana shrimper, and a Gulf fisherman,” as explained by the publisher W.W. Norton, in the short summary below the video.

“In exploring their work and family histories and the essential geographies they protect, Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman challenges pervasive and powerful myths about American and environmental values,” Norton states.

A short review of the book found on Amazon.com, states:

“Many of the men and women doing today’s most consequential [conservation] work ― restoring America’s grasslands, wildlife, soil, rivers, wetlands, and oceans ― would not call themselves environmentalists; …” &nbsp’; “What drives them is their deep love of the land: the iconic terrain where explorers and cowboys, pioneers and riverboat captains forged the American identity. They feel a moral responsibility to preserve this heritage and natural wealth, to ensure that their families and communities will continue to thrive.”

“Unfolding as a journey down the Mississippi River, Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman tells the stories of five representatives of this stewardship movement: a Montana rancher, a Kansas farmer, a Mississippi riverman, a Louisiana shrimper, and a Gulf fisherman. In exploring their work and family histories and the essential geographies they protect, Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman challenges pervasive and powerful myths about American and environmental values.”

The author, Miriam Horn, is the author of two previous books, including the best-selling “Earth: The Sequel.”
