"A fascinating retelling of one of the most turbulent debates ever to face the state of South Dakota."oSenator Tom Daschle. "Today's talk show hosts, editors, and even historians often mourn for the heroes of yesteryear. But those who say modern society has deteriorated into a crowd of cowards and crooks don't know Peter Carrels. Nor do they know the South Dakotans in this gripping history of an important Great Plains war over water. Ordinary citizensofarmers, mostlyochose to resist a poorly conceived water development planoan action demanding not the courage of an impetuous instant but years of smart and wholly legal battle. Carrels's history has much to teach all of us. I wish I could place a copy of this book in the hands of every voter in South Dakota. And then every voter in the West."oLinda M. Hasselstrom, author of Land Circle: Writings Collected from the Land.
