Review: Still the Wild River Runs: Congress, the Sierra Club and the Fight to Save Grand Canyon By Byron E. Pearson Reviewed by Ryder W. Miller San Francisco, California, USA Byron E. Pearson. Still the Wild River Runs: Congress, the Sierra Club and the Fight to Save Grand Canyon. Tucson, AZ: University of Arizona Press, 2002. ISBN 0-8165-2058-5. US$45.00. Acid-free, archival-quality paper. Just as a mountain can be a metaphor of the struggle necessary to climb to the top, or the coastline a boundary between different worlds, or a river a journey, the Grand Canyon can represent a vast barrier between groups of people.

While reading, I questioned why Pearson did not point out a dozen times that the Sierra Club bridged the gap between the environmental movement and the un-motivated public by making the stand they did. The public responded by supporting the Sierra Club, seeing the action of the federal government to remove their tax-deductible status as an act that prohibited free speech. The public responded with unprecedented support and financial donations, and the Sierra Club gained public recognition as the preservers of the Grand Canyon. But Pearson is more impressed with the political machinations and the regulatory agency players. Chronicled here are the maneuvers of Arizona congressman Stewart Udall, the Senate Interior Committee, the Central Arizona Project, Arizona senator Carl Hayden, and others. Pearson goes a long way to argue that the Sierra Club had less of an effect on the political debate that resulted in the preservation of the Grand Canyon. Pearson relays that the real gain was the passage of the National
