When people urge the removal of dams they say are strangling rivers in the West, it’s usually fish they’re worried about. Studies of dam-removal projects show that migratory species like salmon respond quickly to improved conditions once a dam is removed.

Ernest Hemingway first arrived at the Clarks Fork River valley on July 13, 1931, bouncing along Yellowstone National Park's gravel roads in a Ford Model A roadster until he reached one of the wildest places in America.
Hemingway was 31, looking for a place to hunt, fish and write, looking to get away from Key West's heat and anyone who fawned over the best–selling author of "The Sun Also Rises" and "A Farewell to Arms." He was seeking something wilder and more adventurous than the Sheridan area he'd visited in 1928 on his first trip to Wyoming.
