This handsome hardcover first edition of Trevor Herriot's award-winning River in a Dry Land: A Prairie Passage is like new, the dust jacket likewise like new. The dark green boards are unmarked and like new, with silver lettering along the spine, and the book appears entirely unread. Signed by the author on the title page. First edition. Published in 2000 by Stoddart Publishing Co. Limited, Toronto. Jacket design by Angel Guerra; jacket illustration River Bend by Brian Hoxha, maps and text illustrations by Trevor Herriot himself. Herriot's memoir and history of the Qu'Appelle River Valley in southern Saskatchewan won the CBA Libris Award for First-Time Author, the Writers' Trust Drainie-Taylor Biography Prize, the Saskatchewan Book of the Year Award, and the Regina Book Award, and was shortlisted for the Governor General's Award for Non-Fiction. Weaving memoir, natural history, and prairie ecology, Herriot traces the Qu'Appelle Valley's birds and landscapes alongside the often-overlooked human history of the region, including the long fight to protect culturally significant Indigenous sites within the valley from development and flooding.
