Cover has some light edge and corner wear. No Dust Jacket. ; Many things have been written and will be written about the Teton Dam disaster. There will be lengthy stories and reports on the dam itself, the financial losses, the destruction and the rebuilding. But there is another story to be told. It's the story of people and the changes that occurred within them. This is a partial answer to the many outsiders who have queried why it is that these people of the Upper Snake River Valley could react as they did -- with optimism, hard work and courage in the face of such utter destruction. The answer, of course, lies largely in their background, which is semi-rural and Western. But more significance, in the eyes of many, is the fact that the area is predominantly Mormon -- and Mormons have a long history of hardship and adversity.... This then is their story -- a story of people helping each other regardless of station or religious affiliation. It's the story written by those in the actual flood ravaged area and those who helped in the nearly overwhelming job of cleaning up. --- excerpts from book's Preface; 6.25" x 9.25"; 307 pages;
