-Unruly River tells a complicated story without oversimplifying politics or nature. Schneiders looks at the Missouri as a living entity: a product of the geology that created it, the soil that surrounds it, the marine creatures that live in it, the plants and animals that adjoin and border it, and the birds that fly over it. It is, as the author says, 'ever-changing and forever wild.'---Donald J. Pisani, author of Water, Land, and Law in the West -A major contribution to environmental history and Missouri River historiography that deserves a wide audience.---William E. Lass, author of From the Missouri to the Great Salt Lake and A History of Steamboating on the Upper Missouri River -An exceptional history that deals with real communities and real people, rather than just nameless bureaucracies.---John E. Thorson, author of River of Promise, River of Peril: The Politics of Managing the Missouri River
