Book Description Yamsi, a six–thousand–acre working cattle ranch at the head waters of the Williamson River in Oregon’s Klamath basin, is the setting for this lively meditation on what it means to be a rancher in the West in the late twentieth century. Hard work and hardships at Yamsi coexist with a dedication to principles of conservation and sound ecology. Ranch foreclosures and attacks on the environment have not disappeared in the 25 years since Yamsi was first published. Hyde’s book was ahead of its time then; today its message is even more urgent.
