This lavish presentation details the history and decline of the tallgrass prairie and parkland of the Red River Valley. With sound science and stories by the people of the region, the book documents the natural legacy of grass. Optimistic, yet with a tone of urgency, the authors explain why the tallgrass prairies have all but disappeared and what is and can be done to save them and the birds and mammals and plants that depend on that unique habitat. This book won the Minnesota Book Award in 1998.
