<br />INTRODUCTION <br /> <br />xi <br /> <br />Included in this volume are tales of adventure, tragedies and <br />near-misses, delight in beauty and solitude, unadulterated fun, <br />and childhood impressions of swiftly-moving river monsters. <br />There are stories of whitewater that destroyed boats but created <br />ingenious men, of fish that were river whales but have nearly <br />disappeared, and of ferries that once connected human lives but <br />now are only memories. Some are hilarious, others are <br />heartrending, but all capture our imaginations. <br />This anthology is collected and published as a Uinta Basin <br />tribute to the rivers that are so much a part of each of us, rivers <br />that provide so much more than just water to an arid desert. We <br />hope that as you read the experiences of these authors, you re- <br />member and write your own for future generations to cherish <br />and learn from. As contributor Jerry Golins notes, "around here <br />the Green does most of the talking. All you have to do is listen." <br />
