　　For nearly a century, the Indians on the Wind River

Reservation in Wyoming have been battling their white farmer

neighbors over the rights to the Wind River. What You See in Clear

Water tells the story of this epic struggle, shedding light on the

ongoing conflict over water rights in the American West, one of the

most divisive and essential issues in America today.

While lawyers argued this landmark case all the way to the U.S.

Supreme Court, Geoffrey O’Gara walked the banks of the river with

the farmers, ranchers, biologists, and tribal elders who knew it

intimately. Reading his account, we come to know the impoverished

Shoshone and Arapaho tribes living on the Wind River Reservation,

who believe that by treaty they control the water within the

reservation. We also meet the farmers who have struggled for

decades to scratch a living from the arid soil, and who want to

divert the river water to irrigate their lands. O’Gara’s empathetic

portrayal of life in the West today, the historical texture he

brings to the land and its inhabitants, and the common humanity he

finds between hostile neighbors on opposite sides of the river make

What You See in Clear Water an unusually rich and rewarding

book.
