What drives them is their deep love of the land: the iconic terrain where explorers and cowboys, pioneers and riverboat captains forged the American identity. They feel a moral responsibility to preserve this heritage and natural wealth, to ensure that their families and communities will continue to thrive.Unfolding as a journey down the Mississippi River, Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman tells the stories of five representatives of this stewardship movement: a Montana rancher, a Kansas farmer, a Mississippi riverman, a Louisiana shrimper, and a Gulf fisherman. In exploring their work and family histories and the essential geographies they protect, Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman challenges pervasive and powerful myths about American and environmental values. 6 illustrations; 2 maps\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51855858303264,"sku":"NEW0393354873","price":35.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71xnwp1cqcL.jpg?v=1781542705","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/rancher-farmer-fisherman-conservation-heroes-of-the-american-heartland-0393354873","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
