5.0 out of 5 stars Thorough policy history, December 20, 2003
By A Customer
This book is written with the help of three people who were active participants in the fight for the BWCA. It is well written and thoroughly documented. It is biased in that the authors wanted increased protection of the BWCA and provides inside information from the pro-protection side of the fight. Even so, they were able to remove themselves enough from the story to write an accurate account.

The fight is a very interesting story and parallels many other environmental fights throughout the country.

Anyone looking for a monograph concerning Minnesota history, legislative history, environmental history, or just a good read this is a highly recommended read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Troubled Waters. , October 1, 2007
By Casey McQuiston (Babbitt, MN United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An excellent book about the creation of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. I would highly recommend it for anyone interested in natural resources and/or recreation. It gives a good history and as a result an understanding of the hard feelings still fostered by some in the communities that were impacted.

The book definitely has a spin from the Friends of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness interest group. Looking beyond that it is still an excellent book.
