"Unique in the annals of modern fiction, [this book] is more than just a portrait of a vanished America - it is a livng piece of that world. Writeen when Norman Maclean was in his seventies, his first book of fiction was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize and became a bestseller. The title novella recalls the experiences of a young man in frontier Montana: of his minster father, who taught hsi sons the ways of grace and fly fishing; of his brother, an artist at trout fishing but less successful at life, and the swift, cold rivers taht ran from the heart of the mountsin into the still-mysterious heart of man." -- back cover
