Tours America to explore some of the more unusual dilemmas that have arisen in our struggle to possess nature. This book recounts the battle for three thousand acres of land the river carved from a Nebraska Indian reservation and deposited in Iowa. It illuminates what it means to live in a culture of property where everything must have an owner.
