Today many people enjoy boating and fishing on the resultant Flaming Gorge Reservoir, but few know about what lies under the water. Compared to Glen Canyon, Flaming Gorge has received little attention. In\u003ci\u003e Lost Canyons of the Green River\u003c\/i\u003e, Roy Webb takes the reader back in time to discover what lay along this section of the Green River before the Flaming Gorge Dam was built, and provides a historical account of this section of the Colorado River system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA historian and a lifetime lover of rivers, Webb has spent decades exploring the region, digging into archives, and running the length of the Green River. The book chronicles the history that is most closely linked to the river and its bottomlands, sharing the stories of those who traveled the Green through Flaming Gorge and the other canyons now flooded by the reservoir, as well as those who lived, trapped, farmed, or ranched along its banks. In depicting the river of the past, Webb considers his book \"a guidebook for a river you can no longer run.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Finalist for the Utah Book Award in Nonfiction. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roy Webb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1607811790\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781607811794\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Utah Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 8.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Utah Book Award - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Utah Book Award - Finalist","brand":"Roy Webb","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45180293972223,"sku":"9781607811794","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b430c38-e19a-4119-9199-c74cdd73c65e.jpg?v=1712897818","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lost-canyons-of-the-green-roy-webb-9781607811794","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
