Summary

Montana's majestic Blackfoot River was the setting for Norman Maclean classic novella, A River Runs through It. His son, John N. Maclean, returns annually to the simple family cabin that his grandfather built by hand, still in search of the trout of a lifetime. Here he chronicles a family who claimed a river, from one generation to the next, and tells how this family came of age in the 20th century. As they scattered across the country, faced tragedy and success, the family was always drawn back to the waters that bound them together. -- adapted from jacket
